![]() ![]() The full version of all the CDs is closer to $80.00, but heck this is way better than spending such money on a couple of Xbox games or controllers.īe a blessing this Christmas- give the Bible Experience. The MP3 version of the complete Bible is a very reason $50.00 or so, depending on who you order it from. So, are you looking for a gift that keeps on giving? A gift that could save some souls, without being confrontational? A gift that makes the Word come alive? This is the Christmas gift for you. The trailer of Blair Underwood reading the lines of Jesus in the Gospels is itself worth having. Once you get caught up in its dramatic reading, you find yourself swept up and carried along to places you did not expect to go. God’s Word comes alive! As Levar Burton says– “there is no rattling off the Bible”. Some of them, like Denzel Washington, were already Christians, but some who were not were enormously moved by doing this. I will also tell you that the doing of this project clearly had a dramatic effect on some of the readers. The set as a whole is so large that it will not conveniently fit into a car’s central CD container, but this is a minor complaint. The Bible Experience features a star-studded cast of almost 200 performers. The CDs come in sleeves rather than jewel cases, so if you want to take a particular disc and listen to it in the car, you have to bring a spare case with you. Enjoy 1 Kings from the most ambitious, critically-acclaimed presentation of the Bible ever produced, Inspired By. The box set of the whole Bible has a few drawbacks. There is also the interesting feature that God speaks directly (and this entails at various points not reading the phrase ‘says/ declares the Lord’, understandably). ![]() One of the interesting features is that often rather than have just one person reading a particular book the actors will trade off and male and female voices will trade off. It is hard sometimes to figure why one might have music in some of these segments, but not in others. And in some places one could have wanted some music, where there was none. Mostly this works, though sometimes it is a little distracting. You will also hear the ocean, sea gulls, crowds, various noises as well along the way to add a little color and flavor in the background of the reading. You will hear snatches of this right along throughout the readings. ![]() The theme for the Bible Experience sounds rather like the Hans Zimmer theme for Gladiator– it is stirring and gets the blood pumping. Thirdly, this production comes with sound effects and music. Jackson as the voice of God in the NT is pretty compelling stuff. I have to say hearing Blair Underwood as Jesus, and Samuel L. Jackson, Blair Underwood, Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding Jr., Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, Cicely Tyson, Levar Burton (the star of that great classic ‘Roots’ ) and so many others, including many African American ministers who have ‘preacher voice’. Some of them are some of the great African American actors of our time, and they definitely know how to bring the text to life- Samuel L. Secondly, these dramatic readers are not just any readers. This along makes it a worthwhile project as it is so easy to listen to and easier to comprehend than many translations. In the first place, for the first time we have a modern inclusive language translation (the TNIV) dramatically read verbatim from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. Long as Joel among others.This project is remarkable in many ways. Jackson and Paul Adefarasin portraying God, Blair Underwood as Jesus, LL Cool J as Samson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Angela Bassett, Denzel Washington and Pauletta Washington in the Song of Songs and Bishop Eddie L. Among these famous personalities include Samuel L. Performed by more than 200 African-American actors, musicians, personalities and clergy, the Bible Experience brought together some of the famous and award winning personalities including 5 Golden Globe winners, 23 Grammy winners, 3 Oscar winners and 7 Emmy winners. That is why, the Inspired by… The Bible Experience brought together a modern translation of the Bible itself to provide an audio rendition of how the different stories of the Bible convey the very message of God. But hearing the every word of God touches our hearts more. Reading the Bible brings inspiration in our daily lives.
