Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Forgive this shameless vanity post, but do you have a favorite audio version of the Holy Bible that you listen to in your car, home or office?

May God Bless and Keep All of His Children,

Amen

[Always Right]

This isn't a CD, but this is a good vesion On-Line NIV Bible.

SOrry, that was the wrong link. I need to find that link, which is bookmarked on a different computer.

Alexander Scourby is the best, but that's with the KJV translation. I wonder how Mark Taheny did with the RSV/CE. Anyone know?

I haven't listened to it, but I've heard this one is good.

Still, when I consider the narrator, I can only imagine hearing Lord Vader saying, "Now, we shall begin with the Gospel according to Luuuuuke"

My favorite audio version is when I read to my grandson.

This is not a reading of the Bible, but an explanation of it, chapter-by-chapter:
Thru the Bible
It is a series of free (but donate!) downloadable mp3s. I bought a neat little mp3 player (Samsung K5) with tiny built-in stereo speakers just to listen to this inspiring series.

Every time I go over, that's the first thing we do.

I really need to get a new one, I lost the 8-tracks that most of Psalms and all of Hezekiah.

[Sopater]

I see we're neighbors... God bless you and keep up the good work.

He's only 2. Before he was baptized, his father sat him on his lap and read through the whole Bible. Took several months, but he did it. I bought him a childrens Bible this Christmas. We go through the stories together and answer the questions. He loves the story of Noah.

I am in Burien. Where are you at?

I like the Listener's Bible with Max McLean narrating. It's not dramatized but there is a very quiet synthesized soundtrack in the background which, surprisingly, does add some dramatic depth to the words and helps move the narration along. I find Scourby a little over the top and his Shakespearean voice training distracting.

"I really need to get a new one, I lost the 8-tracks that most of Psalms and all of Hezekiah."

I think it was found in a bog in Ireland along with some old manuscripts. I'll see if they will send it to you.

Have you read him the book of Nahum? :-)

[P-Marlowe]

I like this one because ITS FREE!
