I think most people in my local church don't want a real relationship with Jesus. It gets in the way of their conventional lives.
I recently assembled the audio Bible narrated on youtube by David Suchet (of Hercules Poirot fame) and tried to share it with local friends from church because it is easier to listen to the Bible when eyes are tired at the end of the day. Only one person was interested and even he hasn't actually used it.
Most people looked at me like I was a Jesus freak from the 1960's.;-)
I have subsequently learned that these people have no interest in reading the Bible whether in print or on audio.
As you know, Godly people have a hunger for God's Word. I guess I was naive in believing this would be welcome.
BTW, links to the audio Bible are on my homepage. Check it out (it's on youtube).
I listen for at least an hour a day and again during the night when I can't sleep. The audio Bible is transformative because you get a sense of how the Bible narrative flows (which is difficult to get when reading because, in my case, my eyes get tired after a while).
David Suchet is an incredible actor and a born-again Christian. He reads the Bible with such passion and intonation that it really comes alive.
I've always loved reading the Bible, but now I am addicted. It is so profound and peaceful at the same time.

That is because God has done everything necessary for our salvation, except forcing us to accept it.
Seek the Lord and his righteousness...
Save yourself from this wicked generation...
Ask and it shall be given unto you...
Etc.
