Story5 out of 5 stars 4
In AD 66, nationalist and religious revolutionaries in Judaea led a ferocious revolt of the Jewish people against the authority of mighty Rome, culminating in the greatest upheaval and savagery the world had known up to that time. By the end of the conflict seven years later, over one million Jews had perished and tens of thousands were sold into slavery. Until the Holocaust, it remained the greatest tragedy ever endured by a people. How had this once prosperous region been laid low, and by what process did its fratricidal feuds take it down a slippery slope to utter annihilation? Fortunately for us, there was an eyewitness.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn’s startling book led, almost 30 years later, to Glasnost, Perestroika, and the "Fall of the Wall". One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich brilliantly portrays a single day, any day, in the life of a single Russian soldier who was captured by the Germans in 1945 and who managed to escape a few days later. Along with millions of others, this soldier was charged with some sort of political crime, and since it was easier to confess than deny it and die, Ivan Denisovich "confessed" to "high treason" and received a sentence of 10 years in a Siberian labor camp.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
C.S. Lewis' famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: affection, friendship, eros and charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity, however, the gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.

Story5 out of 5 stars 40
This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies.

Best Narratation by Far
Thank God I have finally found an audio Bible that doesn't make me cringe. And to have George Guidall narrating Genesis, Exodus, etc. is again a godsend. I can finally listen to Romans for example and get the actual intelligence of Paul. No sentimental nonsense. Thank you. This is the Bible as Milton conceived. The fact it is not the KJV is a minor quibble. I would rather have the KJV for the Old Testament but it's actually better for the New Testament as the language of the New Testament is closer to modern usage. As many reviewers have already mentioned, the only drawback to this audio Bible is a lack of a index so you have to skim through many chapters to find what you are looking for. It would be great for Audible to have it reformatted. Now if someone could make such an intelligent dramatised version like the Word of Promise (which btw is just awful though it does give you a sense of how powerful the Bible could be). Besides being the Word of God the Bible is a truly great narrative and should be treated as such. It is easily as compelling as the Greek tragedies, Homer, and Shakespeare.

This is not a regular 𝙱𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎
It’s an interpretation of the Bible, some which are no accurate. Almost Midway thru Old Testament each verse ( not an actual verse but was announced as a verse) was repeated! This was most annoying.
Every two the same reading.

Divided in chapters
This is difficult to navigate since it is divided in random chapters not related to bible’s books or chapters from the printed version. We can’t find specific places in the Bible based on the way the divided in chapters. I returned it and would not recommend it.

CEV not KJV - Picture is correct
Thank you for the review that mentioned the not always included Deuterocanical books (Apocrypha) were part of this version - it helped me choose this one and explains the extra time added to this reading. The sample provides a good idea on what to expect from the overall listening experience, so if you like what you hear and are ok with the CEV, you will probably appreciate this presentation. There are 15 different downloads. I have not listened to all of it but downloaded different sections to sample the readers and find the start of the New Testament which is in download Part 13, Chapter 8. The different male and female readers speak clearly and are comparable to the sample.
It would be really very nice to have chapter titles that match what is being read, but I chose not to knock off any stars for it as most versions aren't any different in this format. I was not specifically looking for any particular version but wanted no music, no overly theatrical readings and if possible, the Apocrypha included. I grew up Presbyterian so those books were always included in the Bible's used in my church, so while not necessary, I like having them there. There is no breakout ever in the description of who reads what books but you have it here in the chapter intros on this one. The CEV is similar to the NLT version as far as translations go, so it makes this more of a pleasure reading version. This is definitely not the KJV so please keep that in mind if considering this one at all. I will still look for a complete KJV or RSV on Audible, but this one makes for a nice change of pace.

It's the CEV Bible -- Contemporary English Version
Would you listen to The Holy Bible again? Why?
Sure
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jesus
Any additional comments?
This is NOT the King James Version of the Holy Bible. It's actually the Contemporary English Version. The deuterocanonical books are included. It's a pleasant surprise to find that the Book of Sirach is read by Nelson Runger.

Segments Need to be Organized Better
It's better than Game of Thrones! Unfortunately, this version is not organized in a way that allows one to access specific sections of the book without being blind about it. Also, I've run into repeated chapters in "Part 4," where I have to continually skip the next audio segment they're calling chapters, because it's the same segment that I just listened to, and this is for 100+ chapters. I'd like to skip to The New Testament and give the Old Testament a break for a minute, but I can't find the beginning of it without it being a huge production. Otherwise, it's read very nicely and the story is very engaging, so far.
