Product Description (Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Hear the Bible Come Alive in Dramatic Audio Theater™!

Listen in your car, on your MP3 player, or with your family or small group to gain a new perspective of the Bible.

The cast includes Jim Caviezel as Jesus, Stacy Keach as Paul, Louis Gossett, Jr. as John, Ernie Hudson as Peter, Michael York as Narrator, Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Mary, Mother of Jesus, Marisa Tomei as Mary Magdalene, and many others.

The Word of Promise® New Testament Audio Bible is a 20-CD set and includes a bonus “Behind-the-Scenes” DVD.

What a wonderful 20-CD collection of the NKJV of the Holy Bible. As I listened to the books of the Bible brought together by over one hundred actors, I could literally hear the amount of work that went into this project. I believe that the Bible is brought to life by the Holy Spirit and not man…with this being said, I believe that the Holy Spirit has definitely blessed this undertaking and those involved.

I’ve listened to a few audio Bibles and this rank within the best of them. The words spoken were very clear to understand and the theatrical sounds in the background brought emphasis on the subject at hand. This was particularly evident as I listened to the book of Revelation.

I particularly appreciated the small carrying zipper case the Cds came in. I'm able to listen to it as I travel in my car and not have it take up a lot of space. I applaud everyone who participated in this mission. It is a joy to see works produced that glorify God and aid in spreading the Gospel to all nations (Mark 16:15).
