Ratings and reviews

There are more negative then positive. I really would like to see The King James Version, for myself. I rely on The Holy Ghost to teach, lead, and and guide. I don't require someone's elses words or interruptions to tell me what Jesus is saying. The bible tells us, in the book of Revelation to not add or take away from this book(the whole) Bible. GOD has a reason for that command, so that we may rely on The Holy Ghost and not our own selves. Obedience is better then sacrifice!

I used to have the CD set of this and loved it. Unfortunately, I had to return this version because it was one long "Preface" instead of having any chapters listed like it should have. Also, the book of Luke repeats itself after the book of John. I would love to own and use this audiobook, as they do an excellent job dramatizing and adding music to the New Testament, but this particular download is defective.

I have the CD set. Glad to see it on audio book. The reason for 4 Stars is the tracks aren't listed as Biblical book chapters... They are simply Chapter 1, 2, etc. And the chapters aren't separated as books either So if I wanted to go to the book of Hosea I have to fumble around the chapters to find it. If this is updated, I'll gladly give it a 5. Best biblical audio narrative out there.
