I find Suchet's reading so engaging; I feet like I am listening to someone who was there when events unfolded. :D
I created this thread to store any observations or comments made by those of us listening David Suchet's narration of the Bible. Prior threads of this series are listed in post #1 below.
This week's book is available in a few different formats. Below the video image, I linked Bible Gateway's convenient hub offering David Suchet and many others providing audio readings of the books of the bible.
Here is the YOUTUBE link for the book of Romans.

I'll put optional links below in case anyone is looking for additional resources, along with a link to book club ideas for people reading/listening through the book of Mark.

Here are a few links for those seeking additional sources for listening.
Those listening to David Suchet readings may want to use the list at the bottom of the (linked) page which maps each of Suchet's readings to the books/chapters of the bible covered in each reading.

Here is the link in google to James Earl Jones' readings (YOUTUBE). I note that JEJ's collected readings are also available through Audible and on CD.

Bible Gateway: I discovered that Bible Gateway has many spoken translations, including David Suchet's. I am pleased it automatically continued to the next verse without my intervention.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
PING
Really like Suchet’s cadence and rhythm.
And re: the sort of flagship voice to audiobibles — I had dinner with Max McLean and a few others upon a CS Lewis event. :)
Why does one need another to read the Bible for him?
And he’s the only true Poirot!
I would rather listen to Max McLean read the KJV than anyone reading the NIV (Newer Incomplete Version).
“Why does one need another to read the Bible for him?”
I listened to the entire recording of David Suchet reading the Bible on Audible. I’m not sure I could ever have read it myself. So, to me it was quite helpful.
And he really does a perfect job. Can’t imagine how long it took to complete.
Thank you for pinging me!
Thanks!
If you’re sick and lying in bed, feeling down or feeling overwhelmed by things going on in life, to hear The Word of God read not just to you, but actually over you (as The Bible Is Living and Alive), and you can either follow along in your Bible or just listen, it Heals you. It Delivers you. It Strengthens you. The Word—
JESUS, tells you, you’re not alone. I’m right here with you. I’ll never leave you or forsake you. Everything in My Word is TRUTH, and I never change.
“So faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
Amen!
Example would be: you’re in the car, driving in traffic…
Right On Patriot 777!
That is an excellent idea!
Now if I could figure out how to do that....
I very much enjoy David Suchet’s Narration of the Bible. I do own an Audible copy of his work, but I prefer to listen to him on youtube - I find it easier to navigate.
Some due to blindness/liss of eyesight, some read the scripture along with listening as it helps with retention, and some like to listen while in the road. There are probably other reasons, too.

It’s incredible McLean done at least 3 versions all the way through and knows St. Mark’s Gospel by heart.
His KJV audio doesn’t have instrumental backdrop which some either prefer or not.
I prefer just the narration. Musical accompaniment to that sort of thing comes off to me as somewhat contrived, and it’s distracting.
