A Wonerful Promise kept!
Having the entire Bible on CDs is very convenient for drive-time or around the house while doing chores, just listening or for actual Bible Study. The reading is from the NEW KING JAMES VERSION. The dramatizations bring deeper dimensions to the Bible learning experience for any age group. For the most part the actor’s voices seem to suit the characters nicely. The familiar stories, such as The Creation, The Flood, David & Goliath, Abraham, Parting the Red Sea, the Birth of Christ, the Birth of the Church at Penticost, the stoning of Stephen and all the others, are all very well done and hold the interest. The Psalms are beautifully executed with the use of mixed voices. The Prophets are artistically punctuated. The first chapter of Ezekiel and portions of Revelations transport one to the throne room of God. Jim Caviezel’s voice perfectly portrays the tenderness and love of the Lord Jesus Christ. All this is highlighted by a magnificent and moving original musical score. The 2 yrs and immense talent of the 500 actors and producers that went into the production of this version of the world’s most beloved Book is very evident. It does honor to the original AUTHOR of the text- Who Himself IS “THE Living WORD OF PROMISE”.
The set of 79 CDs also includes a handy small traveling case for transporting a few CD discs a time.
We highly recommend this as a gift for yourself or others
Better than the Bible Experience
I recently purchased the Word of Promise Audio Bible and I am already on chapter 51 of Jeremiah! (I already listened to the New Testament) This is an outstanding Audio production that blows the Bible Experience out of the water. Allow me to explain why.
1. The actors are better and easier to understand. From the most important roles, (Jesus, Paul, Moses), to the minor roles, (Pilot, Abel, Ebed-Melech), the acting is superb. There are only a couple of places where the actors should have showed more emotion, but these occurrences are few and far between. The Bible Experience contained good acting, but why did all of the actors HAVE to be African American? I am not prejudice by any stretch of the imagination, but I do believe that they could have thrown in at least one white actor! The Word of Promise contains actors of various ethnicity’s coming together to portray the Bible characters, and they succeed overall.
2.The sound effects are better. The Bible Experience tends to overdo the sound effects, which can be distracting. This is okay, but it tends to drive me crazy. The Word of Promise has sound effects sprinkled throughout, but they’re never overdone.
3.The music is much better. The differences here are night and day. The Bible Experience will sometimes throw in some rock, techno, and African beats. This is not right for the Bible and this can even be considered downright disrespectful. The Word of Promise, on the other hand, contains orchestral scores that are moving and always fit the mood of the event.
4.The NKJV is much more accurate than the TNIV. This is huge. The TNIV is so modernized that precious truths become watered down. In fact, some NT passages just sound really soft and flakey. The NKJV is a word for word translation that is very accurate and easy to read.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I love the Bible Experience and will continue to listen to it from time to time, but when it’s compared to the Word of Promise, it ceases to be great. If you’re thinking about purchasing a dramatized audio Bible that stays true to the original texts, please go with the Word of Promise. This is a product you don’t want to miss.
Truly exceptional… a masterpiece!
I have wanted this Word of Promise Complete Audio Bible for a while but am only now finally listening to it to the first time. Truly, it is EXCEPTIONAL … far beyond my biggest expectations!! This takes one’s experience of the Bible to a whole new level. I cannot possibly describe in words just how very beautiful it is. The music alone adds a whole new dimension to the listening experience…really exquisite! And then there are the sound effects that bring it all to life so that you feel as if you — yourself — are a part of it all. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend this! I think every home and family should have a copy. I cannot even begin to imagine the time, love and devoted labor that went into creating this masterpiece!
