Encounter the heart of God.  

The Passion Translation is a new, heart-level Bible translation that expresses God’s fiery heart of love, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God’s word. The goal of this translation is to trigger inside every listener an overwhelming response to the truth of the Bible, unfolding the deep mysteries of the scriptures in the love language of God, the language of the heart.

  • Extensive introductions and outlines for each book

“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being just like the Scripture says!” (John 7:37-38)  

“Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.” (Psalm 5:3)  

“I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase more and more until it overflows, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. And with this revelation you will come to know God fully as he imparts to you the deepest understanding of his ways.” (Philippians 1:9)

Not fit for purpose

update: apparently Audible are chanign chapter headings so as we can see where they are in the Bible! And they are doing all Brian Simmons stuff. no date given tho when they will b user friendly... shouldve been sorted before release I thikn. Will alter stars when its happened!!

Divided into 450 nameless chapters you have to guess which one corresponds to each biblical book. No idea how you even begin to access chapters and verses with in each book. How this got to market in this nightmare format beats me. It's a joke.. But on the person who bought it in good faith to use!! As I said... Unusable.

Beautiful translation... Terrible navigation

A beautiful translation read beautifully with beautiful music. Just BEAUTIFUL.

However the navigation is awful, badly needs a navigation pdf to be released so you can find your way around as you have no hope currently, only option is to listen from start to finish which is fine but would be good to be able to navigate to different parts of the bible

Wonderful Translation of the Word of God but........

This amazing translation is rich and enriching powerful and empowering anointed and fragrant but WHAT A SHAME the music in the background is intensely distracting annoying and upsetting. When you just want to listen to the power of the Alice giving Word in all its fullness the impact of the Word is lessened to a devastating extent by the piano continually playing. In a very short space of time you find yourself really wishing for silence and just to let the Word wash over you and enter your heart. Sadly with the irritating constant plague of background music the power of the fulfilling and awesome translation is drowned out.
SO SAD!!! GET RID OF THE MUSIC!
Although the piano score is lovely it pulls down the narrative and as a listener you are just left thinking “Why oh why did they ever even think of doing it like this?”is t the amazing impact of the Word of of God enough? It doesn’t need any single thing to pad it out!!!
Sadly another annoying thing is that the chapter headings don’t help you identify the passages you want to listen to.
If you wanted to listen to Psalm 1 for example well good hunting!! No chance!! Could be way down the list or somewhere in between.
All in all a wonderful translation spoiled in the rendition and formatting of information makes it impossible to listen to specific parts of the Word.
So Disappointed!!

Stunning, The Only Love Story

Amazing translation, I didn't just feel like I was reading it, it felt like a lived experience and I encountered the Lord as the Bridegroom

Music very distracting

Fantastic narrator and wonderful translation. However, very disappointed that there is music playing throughout the whole book and that the music is so loud. The music is actually very pretty but that makes it really distracting for me, so I keep losing track of the words! I listen at x0.80 speed to fall asleep and this makes the music sound terrible. It would be amazing if they could release a version with just the narrator as it's really hard to find good bible audio books and this is such a fresh and insightful translation, and the narrator has a lovely listenable voice.

Loved it. Easy to follow

The narrator had lots of expression, and portrayed his roles well. I enjoyed every moment, and, well ... I love to hear my Bibles, because I can no longer read as easily, so its nice to be able to relax to different versions and translations of God's wonderful Word.

Truly amazing and revelatory

An inspired translation enhanced by new chapter names so I can now find what book within I want to listen to. I love to listen and listen to this wonderfully narrated book of Life. It brings life and renewal again and again.

Couple of tweaks REALLY needed

Wonderful translation more complete than many. Thank you very much! My feedback is re formatting: the music is too loud and distracting plus the books and chapters of each book are not shown!!! It is impossible to find a specific book or passage!

Never seen anything like this before and I but LOTS of audiobooks! Why is this? This is so basic! Had I known this, I would not had bought it in this format as I use it as a complement to study and teach... It would be great if this was fixed and offer us the option to update pleeease! :-) Thanks you and blessings..

Chapter headings completely unhelpful and useless

I love this audible book. It is beautifully read, lovely for going off to sleep. Unfortunately the chapter headings are useless, more than useless because they are numerical and do not reflect the Bible's chapters. Therefore it is impossible to find favourite chapters to hear again or use as a study guide. Since the reader does not announce which chapter he is reading you have no way of knowing even which book of the Bible it is that is being read let alone the chapter of that book. It is very frustrating and I hope the translater rectifies this as soon as possible.
