James Earl Jones Reads The Bible

When you listen to Mr Jones read his voice is almost musical. The music playing in the background only completements the whole experence. I will be looking for more of his work. I will and have recommend this book to others.

Great

I almost did not get this do to the reviews saying the music is bad. I gald I did not listen to them. This is a wonderful audiobook. I am very happy with it and enjoy listening to it.

Beautiful and Spiritual

After reading several reviews I thought this Bible reading was going to be awful. Because I study and know the word I decided to listen to it. It was beautiful. The musical compositions were majestic. For me, the music remained in the background. It played softly. Mr. Jones has a slight accent so I had to pay close attention to his words initially, but after I became used to the pronunciation of his words, they flowed harmoniously. Great Job. God Blessed this work!

It's the bible

Classic reading of the most important book in human history. To be knowledgeable of the scripture is not praise, but to be ignorant is a great shame.
