Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential: The Bible's stories were meant to be heard. They are powerful accounts of passion and drama. This recording, with an all-star cast, glorious music, and full sound effects, weaves the stories into a rich and compelling theatrical presentation. Whether you know the Bible well or haven't read it in quite some time, you will be captivated by this edition. — Beth Anderson

Worth It!!!

For those who would rather have the names of the books instead of the generic part 1,2,3... labels, here is the info you so you can relabel it in itunes.

Part 1: Matthew-Luke
Part 2: John-2 Corinthians
Part 3: Galations-Revelations

Also enter the numbers accordingly for each part in the disc number criteria so the books will be sorted in the proper order on your ipod/iphone.

Excellent Bible study aid!

I use this to listen to God's Word anytime and anywhere whether I have my Book with me or not. It's an excellent tool for studying my Bible as I'm able to read along and make notes and highlights while listening. There are some differences in the translation. Overall, I enjoy using it to listen to and study God's Word.

Amazing!

I have listened to this Bible reading over and over because it is so easy to understand and lively! Some of the other audible Bibles seem to have a robot or drone reading them. I truly enjoy this Bible Experience!

Excellent Bible interpretation

All inspiring interpretation of the Bible. The narration and acting really brought the Bible to life making it more realistic. A joy to listen to and in vision what the atmosphere was like back then.

Great for devos in the car on the way to work!

Where does Inspired By...The Bible Experience rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have so enjoyed this refreshingly different way of studying the Bible. The booming voice of previous decades' narrator is gone and replaced with what is essentially a drama. Don't worry, though it is word-for-word straight out of the Bible, and can be followed along using the NIV, or in my case used as a devotional time on my way to work every morning! I don't have to worry about not having time to read my Bible daily, I have 30 - 40 minutes in my daily commute. It helps keep me calm as I wind my way through traffic too, so that when I arrive at work I'm calm, and ready for my day. Another great thing about Audible.com is that no matter how many cell phones I go through, I can always redownload my Bible! I have listened to the Old and New Testaments 4 times, and given them as gifts twice.
