Well dramatised and read, poorly organised
If you want to sit down and just listen, this is great - it's a well dramatised reading of the Bible, and can be quite engaging. If you are wanting to listen to something specific then this is an absolute disaster unfortunately.
The thing that Audible has not managed to get it's head around is that the Bible is not a book that is read from start to finish linearly. It is a book where specific parts are often read and studied.
With a paper bible, it's easy to look up a particular verse or book and read it. With the audio book it is nigh on impossible.
There are 17 parts, and each part has many many chapters, but they are not broken down in any way shape or form in the same way as the bible did. Also there is no announcement of which section of a book is being read. You get an announcement at the start of each book 'The book of Mark' for example, but then it is read straight through.
So if you want to listen to a particular book of the bible, good luck - you may find it. If you want to listen to a particular verse or section of a book, give up now.
Audible - please please can you do something to name the chapters so at least we can see where we are in the reading?

Audio gold
For the money, and for the benefit, nothing can beat this superb rendition. Brits nervous of the sound of American voices are soothed by Michael York's melifluous tones as the Narrator, and Malcolm McDowell as God the Father - reassuring once again that God is an Englishman ;-). It is also a joy to hear familiar American stars with their rich and varied timbres.
Readers jaded or defeated by the printed page have the words of life reinvigorated. Long-held goals to read end-to-end can now be achieved and a full perspective on the span and comprehensiveness of scripture is gained.
I agree that the addition of a referenced search facility would be wonderful, but the characterisations and humanity of the voices more than compensate for this. God's Word was mediated by human vessels and this feature of the Bible - its particular authenticity - is drawn out for those who have ears to hear.

Esther's review of Word of Promise
I bought “The Word of Promise” as I thought it would be good to listen to in the car as I drive back and forth to work. Sadly I have found it a little difficult to move around to different parts \ books of the Bible. I felt it missed out big chunks … like when Moses was born and put into the Nile …. There is no mention of this. I wanted to hear that as we are doing a study on it and it would have been good to have heard it a few times before the study, but it just did not seem to be included. It did mean that I tried to go back and see if I missed it, which is why I say its not easy to move around like you could with a Bible in your hands. I liked the sound effects and want to listen to more of it.

Excellent Buy
I loved the download version so much I went out and bought the CD's just to make sure I have hard copies as well as the MP3.
The dramatised versions brings the Bible alive and makes its very exciting.
I am very satisified with Audible so far and look forward to purchasing more material

Makes it real
Anybody who always wished they had read the bible, but can never find time, can now listen on their drive to work, or whenever is convenient. Seeing the whole book, rather than the edited highlights presented at bible class or in church, really opens the work up to self study.
The quality of this audiobook, together with special effects and music really brings home the absurdity of this work. The perceived authority given to scripture in its written form is stripped away when presented in such a familiar way, and this should be applauded.
My only real criticism is that the indexing should have been more bible based, allowing readers to search using biblical references. Otherwise, excellent.

Well, it's the bible...!
Where does The Word of Promise Complete Audio Bible: NKJV rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've always been interested in the Bible but, despite having had many, never read it before.
It's excellent value - 98 hours of audio for 1 credit!
What was most disappointing about Thomas Nelson, Inc.’s story?
I know it's sacrilegious to say it, but it really could be condensed quite a bit. Yes, I know it is unabridged...
Which scene did you most enjoy?
It's good to hear all the familiar stories!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
You're kidding, right? 98 hours in one sitting? It's taken a couple of months at 2 hours per working day.
Any additional comments?
I would never have read the paper version, this worked for me.
