About this audiobook

Verses you have read many times will impact you in a new way when you hear them read aloud

Read in a single voice with subtle background music, the NIV Listener’s Audio Bible features Max McLean’s skillful, engaging, but never over-dramatized style reading the entire text of the Bible. This audio Bible will bring God’s Word to life during your personal and family devotion times, group Bible study, or during your weekday commute. Listen to just 13 minutes a day and you’ll get through the entire Bible in a year!

Before you could tuck it under your arm, before you could bring it up on your phone – you did not read Scripture, you listened to it. For centuries, the only way to access God’s Word was to hear it read aloud in public gatherings. Today, we are blessed to own personal printed copies of the Bible, but there is a surprising benefit to hearing the Scriptures read aloud as it was for so many generations.

New: Now includes an interactive table of contents with books and chapters of the Bible for easy audio navigation!*

Features:

• Complete text of the accurate and clear New International Version (NIV)
• Narration by Max McLean, Founder and Artistic Director for the Fellowship of Performing Arts in New York City

"These are the most engaging recordings of the Bible I have ever heard.”

- Hank Hanegraaff, The Bible Answer Man & President, Christian Research Institute

"He sounds as you might expect the writers of the text to sound if they were speaking instead of writing... McLean reads the Bible like it is the Word of God."

- Donald Whitney, Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Ratings and reviews

This was a great way to listen to the Bible and take God on the road with you, but an update changed the formatting so it now lists chapters in numbered sections without the titles of the chapters like it did previously. It is unfortunate as Max McLean does an excellent job of speaking clearly without a monotone voice, but you cannot find the specific chapter by title anymore.

I am so disappointed that the format changed back to chapters and you cant even look up a specific book of the bible. Anyone who reads the bible regularly, or even someone just learning, will want to go right to the book, chapter, or verse they are looking for. That is how bibles are written. I wont even use this app anymore.

On my phone and the web client it only shows Chapter 1,2,3 etc. Frustrating experience because I cannot look up a specific book/verse. Would request a refund if I could. Please fix.
