Wonderful Reading of the Gospel January 4, 2010 D. Johnson (APO, AE United States) My wife surprised me with this for Christmas. It may have been the last Johnny Cash recording I did not already have. I'm thrilled with it. Apart from being a huge fan of Johnny's this is simply a great reading of the New Testament - all the more powerful for being straightforward & simple with the text speaking for itself. It is easy to imagine any number of other texts that would have sounded terrific if voiced by Johnny but I'm glad that having only read one he chose the Gospel. Highly recommended for anyone, Cash fan or not, who wants a lean but powerful reading of the New Testament from a solid translation.
A 'God~Sent' for a Blind Friend October 9, 2009 Charles Junior (NW Washington State, USA) I bought this for a friend. She is a 91 year old near blind lady. Her hearing is also fading. She said that this is the only audio Bible that she has heard that does not have background music. This, coupled with the outstanding distinctive voice of Johnny Cash made this not only very clear and understandable, but very enjoyable as well. However, I did have to make some adjustments to the album so that she could navigate through the 16 disks. The album comes in 2 folders, each containing 8 disks. Each folder opens up into 4 panels, each containing 2 disks. That is, 1 at the top of each panel & 1 on the bottom of each panel. I placed a piece of tape on the upper part of the spine on the first album. This made it so (by feel) that she could easily identify the first part of the Bible from the second part of the Bible. Then I placed a piece of tape on the upper part of the first panel so that she could, again by feel, know where the first disk was. Then, I the put a piece of tape on the upper right hand corner of the face of the second album. This not only let her know that this was the second album, but also which way is up ^ and where to begin to open the album. Then, as I had done with the first album, I put a piece of tape on the upper part of the first panel so that she could, again by feel, know where the first disk (of the second album) was. She listened to the entire New Testament within the first two weeks. She has enjoyed it so much that she is now midway through listening to it a second time. Beyond all of that, her friends are delighted to hear how enthusiastically she speaks of it.
Son Loved It January 6, 2009 BoogerRaye (Indiana) I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 18 year old son. He is a senior in high school and wants to go into the ministry. He loved it.
Simply Perfect June 28, 2008 Timothy M. Christensen JR Cash was one of the most fantastic men to ever live, and he gave the world the gift of his voice; through song, tv and now this: an audio recording of the NKJV bible.
I got this for Christmas and it really helps make reading the bible easier. Cash has the perfect voice for this, and it isn't all flashy, Johnny makes it fantastic without all that Hollywood crap.
I never thought I would own an audio bible until i saw this, and now I will never even have to think of getting another!
The Ultimate in The Word! April 13, 2008 Tech Ed (Senoia, GA USA) No one can read the Word like Johnny Cash! This is not Easy Listening Music, but it is easy listening! Thank you Johnny Cash!
