I'm so glad that I read all the reviews and just trusted...I'm surely technologically challenged, but I figured out how to get this downloaded onto my PC and then onto my Ipod...the sound is great....it kept its chapters and is much more user friendly then when I tried to download my KJV from cds. Great price for an enduring treasure. The "narrator" reads a bit fast, but he has great inflection and honors THE MESSAGE. It's the best $10something you'll ever spend!
I have been listening to the Bible over and over and got to the point I wasn't paying attention. When I started listening to The Message it captured my attention again.
I drive a lot for work, in areas where radio reception is poor. To pass the road time I enjoy listening to the Bible, and have 4 different recordings--King James, a couple modern translations in dramatized recordings (music and background sounds added)and now this one. Two of these products are mp3 recordings and are preferred because you have fewer discs to swap around and lose track of.I originally got this for my brother, thinking he would appreciate its more modern text, and though I've read the Message bible, it was not a favorite until now. What I most admire about this recording is, the narrator, who reads the whole thing and still manages to keep it interesting, his voice never flagging or jarring in tone with the message. I also appreciate the foreword by the author/translator, who explains why he undertook the task. And the woman who introduces sections of the recording with notes of themes and ideas to listne for is a very nice counterpoint to the other voices. This is a very reasonably priced gift for yourself or soemone else. Just be sure your vehicle has mp3 disc playing capability. This won't play in standard CD players.
I like the Message, and the guy reading it is good. I do not like the music in the intro tracks. It's not terrible, but it is the SAME music on all 70ish introduction tracks. Don't let that turn you off of the product, though, it is excellent as a whole. The introductions themselves are very good in the Message, and the translation is great. (Since they're MP3 CDs, you likely be listening to them on an iPod or something. Just remove the Intro tracks if you don't like them.)I also really like that the Bible is on 4 CDs instead of 40!4 1/2 stars.
There is too much promotion about the author on the cd. If I don't want to hear that every time, I have to fast forward.
Yes, it is an MP3, but it makes that clear in the packaging. So, I am not sure why there is a fuss here by some. The transition from CD to my iPod was seamless and easy.I love that the introductions to each book are included in this audio version because I love them in the print version. Bravo. The narrator's British voice cannot be beat.The narrator for the Scriptures reads with such passion! I think he is my favorite Bible narrator of all time!The only thing that was weird is that the introductions and the actual Scripture went into two separate places on my iPod instead of being in one neat album. That may be a function of iTunes Library rather than the CD. I had to make a playlist in order to get everything chronologically.This is a very good translation, and I plan on listening to the whole Bible for my Bible reading plan next year!
This is a great value! It's the whole Bible for about eleven dollars. Some car CD players will play MP3s, but most won't, so you have to convert them for an iPod or something that plays audio books. Or, you can listen to them as MP3s, but every chapter in the Bible is its own file. Granted, it takes a little work to put all the MP3 files together into bookmarkable audio books, but it's worth it. I use the shareware Audiobook Builder on the Mac. I put Genesis in an audio book by itself, the Gospels all together, Acts by itself, and all of Paul's letters together. I haven't gotten around to the other books yet. In fact, the next time I'm making an order, I'm going to buy the other set of The Message CDs for the same price featuring different Christian celebrities reading different portions of the Bible.
Outstanding value for money! the whole bible for less that £12.00 on four cd's. Can be played in the car, on your home cd player or pop it in your PC and move the files to either your mp3 player or mobile phone card,( I have a 4gb micro m2 card in my sony ericsson phone) and still have 1.5 gb space left with the whole audio bible on it! Please bear in mind this is a listen only bible and not text! I found it very easy transfer to my phone.If your struggling reading your bible, then this is going to help, just press play!Thanks,Neil.
