Summary: The Best Audio Bible!
Review: Here is the Word-for-Word New Living Translation with fantastic dramatization...like a radio show with music and sound effects...but it is strictly Scripture. What a blessing and so easy to understand. Ver professional. I have listened to many other audio Bible as I have grown up...but Stephen Johnston is the best narrator I have ever heard. This Bible really comes "alive" with his narration and the help of the professional actors.

Summary: An answer to prayer!
Review: I have wanted to get an audio Bible for a long time d/t spending a lot of time in my vehicle and not feeling like I had time to sit and read and dwell on what the Bible has to say. This is an answer to prayer! What a great audio collection! The narrator is great and the accompanying music and voices for each character make this a great tool for anyone wanting to learn God's word!

Review: The New Living Translation is a wonderful Bible...and now this new Dramatized version with the powerful and clear baritone of Stephen Johnston, the Bible truly does come "alive". I recommend it over most any other version...and I have most of them.

Summary: Bible-semi alive
Review: the reader as the voice of Christ appears to be without emotion in driving out the money changers and even dying on the cross. Other actors/readers were often wonderful in speaking with feeling. The text, of course, was flawless, but the narrator spoke without feeling. The title Alive! did not reflect the actual recording. After listening to the cd one wonders why the money changers ever left the temple! This cd has merit, but is certainly not the Bible Alive!

Summary: A great "comunion during commuting" solution
Review: This is a great tool for folks like me who have long commutes. I find the dramatization in most cases "just right". Not too much, but enough to really bring you into the story. One reviewer commented on the "voice of Jesus". The voices of Jesus and God are not "dramatized" the way all the other characters. They are delivered by the "narrator" in the same style as the rest of the narration. But really -- I can appreciate the conundrum -- what should God sound like? I find that I like their choice, and it is clearly a choice they made -- not just "bad acting" on the part of the narrator. The voice of Moses, though, bothers me when he sounds like a young man when he meets God at the burning bush, though he was at least 40 or so at the time. But -- that's nit-picky. This is a very enjoyable audio bible...and the New Living Translation is perfectly suited to the task. I probably wouldn't choose this translation for deep bible study on difficult passages -- but as a "listen to" version it's really nice. Nonny
