Summary: Has great potential
Review: This item would make a great gift if it were not for the mistakes in the narration versus text. Genesis 24:18 replaces the word "she" with "he" and Genesis 29:15 leaves out "And Labon said unto Jacob". Other errors in Genesis are in verses 36:15, 37:27, 42:5, 43:18, 43:23, and 49:30. I also found 4 errors in the narration of Exodus, 2:2, 17:7, 25:19 and 29:15.
I would loved to have handed out many of these DVDs last Christmas but glad I only gave a few out before finding the errors. The content is too important to allow me to give the rest of the DVDs out that I purchased.

Summary: excellent narration highly recommended
Review: As previously mentioned, the series comes on two disc; old and new testament. As the disc begins, you will see the holy bible in book form laying on an alter in a stain glassed church. The book opens and you pick which book from the bible you wish to read; next the page turns and you get to pick which chapter you wish to read or review. then that book you wish to read from opens and you follow along whith the narrator.In the "options" section in the book you may choose 1.play one book at a time 2. play in entire old testament. or 3. review the photos. (about 200)
Stephen Johnston is an excellent narrator but dont think this a a boring monolog. Additional voices are used when a charactor is mention; such as Moses or Abraham etc, plus sound effects such the sound of rain during the story of the great flood in Genesis, and troops marching around the walled city of Jerico. futher inhance the nuance of this series. I'm still in the old testement but had to express my pleasure with this reading of the bible.
this would make an excellent and thoughtful gift for someone who has difficulty reading or may be vision impaired.

Summary: Read This Book!
Review: In my opinion, it doesn't matter what the translation is, this is a book that everyone needs to help them throughout life. You can better your understanding of relationships with your parents, siblings, and mates. It's all in this book. You can find purpose and drive just by discovering the truths that lie within this book. I would recommend this book to anyone young or older;because we all need understanding and love from somewhere. You might as well find out where real love comes from.

Summary: Good narration but not perfect !!!
Review: It's for the first time that the entire scriptures have been made available on DVDs making it very easy for everyone to listen to the scriptures whenever one desires. However, there are some shortcomings too. The pace with which the scriptures are narrated is not consistent throughout. Though most chapters of the Bible have been read quite nicely, some have been narrated in quite a hurry. Chapters like Revelation 13 and 17 have been read at such a lightening pace as if the DVD storage space was running short. The Gospels however, have been read beautifully by Stephen Johnston. In Old Testament DVD also, some chapters have been read speedily. It may be due to the fact that some chapters like those in Revelation are not read much by the christians and hence the narrator took the liberty of reading them hurriedly. Another improvement in the DVD could be the enlargement of the text of the scriptures being displayed on the screen so that one can read it also quite comfortably even from a distance. One option could be that only one page containing scriptures is displayed on the screen. The page may look like a scroll used in the older times. The images stored in the DVD though beautiful, are not enough as they do not show many of the important places in the Holy Land mentioned in the Bible. I hope the above points will be considered by the narrator and the studio before producing its next improved release.

Summary: Bible on DVD
Review: It's worth buying, especially if you're someone who isn't sure how all of the names, etc. are pronounced. It surely doesn't replace your Bible, but it's nice to play in the background, whether you're cleaning the house, or trying to relax and refocus after a rough day.
However, some of the chapters are read too hastily!

Summary: great narration of the Authorized KingJamesVersion on DVD!
Review: Johnston's reading the scriptures as you read along is an excellent idea. There is a section of nice Bible pictures. There are pictures in the text that are entertaining, but I really appreciate the plain Bible reading.Johnston reads fast and well. The scripture passages are there on screen for you to read along or not. I really really enjoy these discs. I use them when I am tired at night and I can read longer and faster along with Johnston. Now even my husband doesn't mind joining me as we substitute a silly sitcom with the Word of God. A TRUE BLESSING. GREAT FOR TRIPS WITH A PORTABLE DVD PLAYER.

Review: PROS
I'm sure the one thing that EVERY KingJamesBible-Only reader needs and looks for is to find an audio reading of the great KingJamesBible. Reading can get very tiring and it's a nice relaxing feeling to not read but listen to the Bible being read. Also, hearing the Bible makes it easier to understand, instead of reading, because it sounds as if someone is talking to us. It's better to concentrate. CONS
This Bible reading sometimes, is a little too relaxing, and I have fallen asleep 3 times just having it on. Also, sometimes, listening to the narrator go on and on and on and never taking a break, is tiring for the reader. OVERALL
I like this DVD and recommend it to everyone. I give a lot of credit to the narrator and the other people who put this DVD together. Reading the Bible perfectly and without any flaws must be tiring, and reading the genealogies of Jesus and Adam, and Abraham, and reading about "who begat who" must have been very tiring. And reading all of those Hebrew names and pronouncing them correctly, must have also been very tiring. This just goes to show how much effort and time the narrator and crew worked. Get a lot of copies of this DVD, because (like every other good thing) it will go out of print, and never be available to us Jesus-Worshipping & God-Fearing, folks again. "For God so loued the world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne : that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life." - S. IOHN 3.16

Summary: It's okay--but don't let it replace your bible book
Review: The entire bible is narrated over two discs--one disc for the Old Testament, and another for the New Testament. The only feature besides the reading and showing of biblical passages are several pictures that one might read about in the scriptures; the pictures are the same on both discs. The reading is fine. However, LEVITICUS 18 sounds like it was read by a different narrator--the reading was a little faster. If you're planning to buy the DVD, don't throw away your bibles to replace them with this DVD. The best way to learn is to read each verse and let it absorb in your head before continuing on to another verse; the DVD won't stop for you after the reading of each verse--thus, no time to reflect and absorb the verse.

Summary: The Whole Bible on Two DVDs!
Review: What a fantastic product....and the person who said the DVD Bible cannot be stopped, doesn't know where his pause button is! This DVD is truly blessed! Now you can have the whole Bible on only two DVDs...that's 72 hours of recording. Stephen Johnston is the best narrator of our century...no one else has brought his kind of love to the Scriptures...plus awarding winning actors, music and sound effects. This is a phenomenal production and perfect for Bible study alone or with your whole congregation...Can you get this kind of Bible for less anywhere else? I don't think so!!
