Publisher's Summary

In a voice as rich as it is recognized, James Earl Jones lends his award-winning acting and iconic narrative talents to the King James Version of the Holy Bible’s New Testament. This newly updated recording from Topics Media Group has had the previous edition’s music background score removed entirely to allow the listener to more easily hear and appreciate the Scripture.

This skilled and resonating interpretation by Mr. Jones has been hailed as one of the greatest spoken-word New Testament recordings of all-time. With more than a half a million copies sold to date, this audio masterwork is certain to soothe, satisfy, and inspire.

May the Glory of God be with you, Always

To listen to one of the greatest voices who played such powerful characters in the movies I love so much. James Earl Jones reading the New Testament was beautiful. God gave him a wonderful gift and it helped me listen to the Gospel and I am now a follower of Christ. Glory be to God, amen.

James Earl Jones is not the right person to read this book.

James Earl Jones is very hard to understand. He just reads the words with no inflection. It feels like he takes a deep breath before starting a sentence and the exhales during the reading. This audiobook was a complete waste of money.
