About this audiobook

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

Ever since he became a Christian at the age of forty, it has been Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the complete Bible. In between filming the final episodes of Poirot, David Suchet spent over 200 hours in the recording studio to create the very first full-length audio version of the NIV Bible spoken by a single British actor.

This audio Bible is also available as an app. The app contains the full text of the New International Version (British Text), so you can easily navigate the audio or read and listen at the same time.

CHAPTERS ARE JUST NAMELESS NUMBERS! CAN'T FIND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR! PLEASE CHANGE SO WE CAN PROPERLY SEARCH! WHOEVER'S BRIGHT IDEA THAT WAS SHOULD GET FIRED, SO DUMB

The Bible really comes alive with David's voice and inflection. It's fun to listen to his pronunciation of the difficult names in the Old Testament. The one negative I have experienced is that the text has been altered for the sake of gender inclusiveness. Brothers becomes Brothers and Sisters. Foreman become overseers. Men become Humans or Mankind. And more. If you follow along with written text you can become occasionally quite lost when the sentence structure is rearranged to accommodate these revisions. It's not something that would prevent me from buying and using the book. But it is irritating in this era of revisionist history.

I love his voice and that he is a Christian. I wanted it on my phone so I could listen when I travel. I think the MP3 only comes in CDs and I'm not very literate when it comes to these things. When you buy the audiobook at the top right there are the lines and when you click on these you get the chapters and you can go to each chapter. If you write down how many books there are and just make yourself a little guide you can go to the chapter that you want. There are 50 books in Genesis so I clicked on chapter 51 and got Exodus. I'm still working on my guide but I will put at what book Exodus ends what the next book is
