Misplaced Chapter

There seems to be some confusion in chapter order. Hosea 12 is recorded after Leviticus 11. That is disappointing -
I hope that refunds are available

Max McLean does an amazing job reading Gods word

recommend to anyone, the only draw back is you have to search a little to find individual books, just bookmark them as you go for future ease of finding them and listen often!!!

Beautifully narrated

I love this reading of the ESV Bible! The narrator has a beautiful, measured voice and really savours each word, taking his time. The problem of there not being headings and chapters is an unfortunate inconvenience, but each section announces which book and chapter is being read. For someone who wants to be able to find the books easily, it’s simply a matter of going through and bookmarking the books that you want quick access to, adding a note with the name of the book. It took me 10 minutes to do this to the whole New Testament. And since I use it mostly to hear large chunks of the bible in a seamless flow, it’s perfect! For one credit, this is a huge amount of material that can be enjoyed over and over again.

Can't easily find what am looking for...

It is a good version of the Bible but it is difficult to choose a specific chapter of a specific testament, or verse with the whole Bible being read as one book with many chapters.

A great performance rendered almost useless

The performance is well done, but the sections are not arranged by book and chapter so I one wants to listen to a particular book or chapter of the bible, one can’t simply turn to that.

The chapters are merely numbered from 1 to whatever the end is. A tremendous oversight.
