This is a wonderful gift for someone who spends alot of time in their car or prefers to listen to something rather than read. It is very well put together and the price is fantastic. We are very pleased and even our boys like to listen to them. So they digest God's Word like when they listen to music. Highly recommend

This set is a wonderful and essential thing to have in my life. Listening to it, you get away from the "one verse here and one verse there" type of faith. You can get in touch with the flow and continuity of the WHOLE message of the Bible. You can see the Bible as WHOLE stories and WHOLE letters not just sentences to memorize. The actors are very good and I like that a read-along NKJV is included. I would like to have a more durable case for it - this one is just paperboard.

When I first received this item I was very excited. However, I got it quite badly damaged. But, I wasn't gonna make a big deal about it as long as the CDs worked. They didn't . . . They started skipping on the first disc. So, I called CBD customer service and she was very nice and sent me a new set immediately.
Although this set isn't in perfect condition (the box they shipped it in was like a truck compared to the small set), as far as I know, the CDs are working well.
Now, to the review of the item.
I absolutely loved this set! Revelation is astonishing and makes me feel right in the midst of everything and the gospels are stunning. I don't really like Jim's "weak" voice but, if you close your eyes it sounds almost like the Word of God is being spoken directly to you. I have never felt the Bible like this before!
I give the customer service of CBD 5/5 and this product 10/5! Loved this product!

Not that the Word of God is improved by the entertainers but it is definitely a unique way to listen to the Scriptures. I have found that I cannot just casually listen I need to set aside time to really follow along - its easy with the accompanying NT version of the CDs. It would be awesome if a movie was made in like manner!! Enjoy!!!

This is a wonderful CD collection of listening to the words of the New Testament spoken by well known actors with beautiful music. The New Testament seems to come alive listening to these CDs. These CDs are well worth the purchase plus a bonus DVD of behind the scenes production and read along book.

I absolutely love this audio Bible. I do also have a NASB version of the whole Bible on cd's but it is only read to you and is monotone which, for me, makes it easy for my mind to wander, but with the Word of Promise, I find myself hanging on every word. I love the sound effects and music and the many different voices from well known actors. I like the fact that the set comes with a scripted New Testament so I can just pop in the cd's and read along. I may very well order the Old Testament version sometime. 2 thumbs way up!

This read along edition makes listening to and following along with the New Testament very easy and enjoyable. This was purchased for a person who has a difficult time reading for long, however, I found myself choosing to follow along as well. This is an excellent edition which really does bring the New Testament to life.

This dramatized version of the Bible is wonderful to share with people. It takes a little more time to set up and play but it is nice to see their eyes get big & wide with wonder as they begin to experience this wonderful work of beauty!
