 very dramatic October 9, 2008
The voices are beautiful, but too dramatic, Jesus sounds too, I don't know, sexy? Would like to see this as a video instead. I got a great deal and gave for gifts, but everyone felt like I did about it. Still may be perfect for others hungering for the Word. I have to say, I love my old Gregory Peck reading the old testement. Wish he did the new.
 Makes a nice gift June 17, 2008
I gave this as a gift and my mother-in-law loved it. I started to listen to the first CD. I wasn't impressed, but as a gift, it was a hit.
AWESOME EXPERIENCE March 14, 2008
I'm so proud of this project, I listen to this almost daily in my car when I'm traveling and when I pick up my children. my kids even love the dramatic reading of God's word. Blair Underwood is so underated, he reads Jesus words with love and compassion. this is a great investment..I do wish it was done in the king james version though..but this is fine. Will be reviewing the Old testament soon...Love It!!
Brings the New Testament to Life in Your Heart February 5, 2008
This recording provides an awe-inspiring experience for Christians. It's like walking with Jesus and listening to his teachings. Later, you'll find yourself in prison with a chained Paul as he sends his letters of love and admonition to the various churches.
There's only so much spiritual growth you can gain by merely reading the Bible. You also need to feel it deep inside your heart. To access your heart in this way, I strongly recommend listening to this recording which re-enacts the New Testament in the Today's New International Version. With music, sound effects, and excellent pacing, reading these sections of the Bible will never be the same for you.
These aren't just any performers: They are an all-star cast of some of your favorite performers. The excellence of their performances helps the words ascend towards heaven.
I intend to listen to these performances again and again. I'm sure you will, too!
Great Reading, So-So production January 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was very excited when I first got these recordings. I've put them on my iPod. The readers are fantastic. They definately add the needed emotion and inflection to the Word. Where the production falls short is the periodic musical breaks. Every few minutes there is a song that is interjected into the text. It usually has little to do with the text and is rather distracting. Also, it's all black gospel. Don't get me wrong, it's good music, but it's definately not my style. Zondervan should really consider alternate versions with different music styles. But this is all or nothing. I've found it distracting to the point that I'm getting little out of the scripture I've just heard.
Definately worth a try, but be warned. If you don't like black gospel, or don't want your scripture interrupted by song, look for another version.
