This is a link to the Entire NIV Bible read by David Suchet (played Hercule Poirot in Poirot (TV Series 1989–2013).
I have this on Audible and listen to it every night before bed and during the night if I have trouble sleeping (which is usually every night around 2-2:30).
If you've never read the Bible from beginning to end, this is a great way to do it.
I have now read the Bible several times through and go back and reread parts that speak to me over and over again.
At youtube, there is a complete list of all videos by book, so it is easy to navigate. I have gotten friends involved and they say that it has changed their lives.
So, if interested in the Bible, check it out. It is obviously perfect for people who have vision problems.
It's the Bible for crying out loud. It's powerful and supernatural.;-)
And it's free!
Ping for later
You might even try doing both at the same time. Wonderful stuff!
I have learned many, many things I never noticed before, particularly about Paul's travels and just how determined and intelligent he is. You can see the Holy Spirit moving him about, from town to town and synagogue to synagogue.
When I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep (happens every night), I listen to the Bible. It focuses the mind on what's important and even if you don't fall back asleep, your mind becomes peaceful and at the same time, energized with good energy.
I never sleep all night through but by reading the Bible during the middle of the night, I wake rested and ready to go.
It's magical.
Spread the word about these audio Bibles. It makes the Bible very accessible to good people who don't read the Bible regularly...or at all.
I am amazed at all these good Christians I know who are not digging down into the Word. There must be a vast emptiness in their lives that only the Word can fill...yet they don't know about it. Yes, they could read the Bible in print, but many people don't read because their eyes get tired or because their eyes are weaker.
We sit here on the edge of eternity, knowing full-well that there is only one way out, but most people don't study the Book which tells us about the way out.
Yes, this is great. I listened to the whole Bible, tbh I’m not sure I could have gotten through the whole thing myself. Highly recommended!
But I reading it on Audible or youtube, it is a treat. I keep backing up to make sure I heard it correctly. Sometimes I have to stop and go to a Bible commentary to get some backstory on what I'm reading. It's better than a theology degree...and much more fun!
I was reading (for the thousandth time) Acts last night. That Paul is on fire. It is easy to see why God chose him. Paul and the Holy Spirit are relentless. I pity the Jewish establishment, the Greeks, and the Roman Empire. When Paul is on the case, he is unstoppable.;-)
Suchet is a Christian, and according to one interview he discovered Jesus while working on the movie Harry and the Hendersons. He was bored, so started reading the bible in the hotel room.
Darned good advice you’ve given me.
and now for a technical segue:
I have a bunch of old phones that no longer ‘phone’, but the camera and other things still work fine.
Does anyone know if I can use one of them as an Ipod, storing music (bible) on it for use in the car?
If he had stayed at a Marriott, he might have picked up the WRONG book...
Followup question:
Why doesn’t SLC place it’s ENTIRE scripture panoply in the hotel rooms?
Hardly any doctrine comes from the BoM, but in the other writings of Joseph.
Doctrines & Covenants as well as the Pearl of Great Price.

True, but when you are doing something else you can listen
You should write an article on that. It would sell like hotcakes to lots of online publications.
good point
Why doesn’t SLC place it’s ENTIRE scripture panoply in the hotel rooms?
Because the Holy Bible is the starting place.
Hardly any doctrine comes from the BoM, but in the other writings of Joseph.
That thought is proof positive you have not read the Book of Mormon. As we have discussed in the past it contains as does the Bible the fulness of the everlasting gospel. That is a quote from the Introduction page of the Book of Mormon.
...and thanks for the revelation that we have a scripture panoply. Even if perhaps you might not have meant it, thanks for the mention.
If the Bible contains it (as long as it's translated properly - a quote from one of the Mormon scriptures) then why is the BoM needed?
That would be a neat trick, since I have POSTED vast amounts of Mormon scripture here on FR in the last 20 years.
And here is some more:
SECTION 20:1-12
Revelation on Church organization and government, given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at or near Fayette, New York. Portions of this revelation may have been given as early as summer 1829. The complete revelation, known at the time as the Articles and Covenants, was likely recorded soon after April 6, 1830 (the day the Church was organized). The Prophet wrote, “We obtained of Him [Jesus Christ] the following, by the spirit of prophecy and revelation; which not only gave us much information, but also pointed out to us the precise day upon which, according to His will and commandment, we should proceed to organize His Church once more here upon the earth.”
1–16, The Book of Mormon proves the divinity of the latter-day work; 17–28, The doctrines of creation, fall, atonement, and baptism are affirmed; 29–37, Laws governing repentance, justification, sanctification, and baptism are set forth; 38–67, Duties of elders, priests, teachers, and deacons are summarized; 68–74, Duties of members, blessing of children, and the mode of baptism are revealed; 75–84, Sacramental prayers and regulations governing Church membership are given.
1 The arise of the bChurch of Christ in these last days, being one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the ccoming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh, it being regularly dorganized and established agreeable to the elaws of our country, by the will and commandments of God, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April—
2 Which commandments were given to Joseph Smith, Jun., who was acalled of God, and bordained an capostle of Jesus Christ, to be the dfirst eelder of this church;
3 And to Oliver Cowdery, who was also called of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the asecond elder of this church, and ordained under his hand;
4 And this according to the agrace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory, both now and forever. Amen.
5 After it was truly manifested unto this first elder that he had received a aremission of his sins, he was bentangled again in the cvanities of the world;
6 But after arepenting, and humbling himself sincerely, through faith, God ministered unto him by an holy bangel, whose ccountenance was as lightning, and whose garments were pure and white above all other whiteness;
7 And gave unto him acommandments which inspired him;
8 And agave him power from on high, by the bmeans which were before prepared, to translate the Book of Mormon;
9 Which contains a arecord of a fallen people, and the bfulness of the cgospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles and to the Jews also;
10 Which was given by inspiration, and is confirmed to aothers by the ministering of angels, and is bdeclared unto the world by them—
11 Proving to the world that the holy scriptures are atrue, and that God does binspire men and call them to his choly work in this age and generation, as well as in generations of old;
12 Thereby showing that he is the asame God yesterday, today, and bforever. Amen.
