Listener's Audio Bible—New International Version, NIV: Complete Bible

Vocal Performance by Max McLean

By: Max McLean

Narrated by: Max McLean

Verses you have read many times will impact you in a new way when you hear them read aloud

Read in a single voice with subtle background music, the NIV Listener’s Audio Bible features Max McLean’s skillful, engaging, but never over-dramatized style reading the entire text of the Bible. This audio Bible will bring God’s Word to life during your personal and family devotion times, group Bible study, or during your weekday commute. Listen to just 13 minutes a day and you’ll get through the entire Bible in a year!

Before you could tuck it under your arm, before you could bring it up on your phone–you did not read Scripture, you listened to it. For centuries, the only way to access God’s Word was to hear it read aloud in public gatherings. Today, we are blessed to own personal printed copies of the Bible, but there is a surprising benefit to hearing the Scriptures read aloud as it was for so many generations.

New: Now includes an interactive table of contents with books and chapters of the Bible for easy audio navigation!*

Features:

• Complete text of the accurate and clear New International Version (NIV).
• Narration by Max McLean, Founder and Artistic Director for the Fellowship of Performing Arts in New York City.

"These are the most engaging recordings of the Bible I have ever heard.”

- Hank Hanegraaff, The Bible Answer Man & President, Christian Research Institute

"He sounds as you might expect the writers of the text to sound if they were speaking instead of writing... McLean reads the Bible like it is the Word of God."

- Donald Whitney, Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

The Living Bible comes Alive as it was meant to Be

The Living Bible comes Alive as it was meant to Be!

Listening allows one to be absorbed mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and and even physically! I become so involved that I weep, shudder, and rejoice with our history feeling as if it were occurring right now... maybe it is!

Such is the reality of God's Word enabled through robust narration with excellent and appropriate inflections and tone. Max McLean's voice impacts the listener through to the quick.

Organization - Lack of Usable Contents (rate this a 2): Frustration abounds and use for studying is limited to almost zero by a lack of ALL reference to actual Books and Chapters. For unknown reasons, producers fail to provide any usable Contents based on the actual Bible. All that exists in the audiobook are numbered chapters which do not correlate to the Bible Books or Chapters. Do to this awful oversight, there is no method to return to particular passages for listening again or study. The ability to add Bookmarks does little to mitigate this poor arrangement. One would have to spend hours to bookmark enough to use for reference... very sad.

Suggestion: PLEASE provide an update that includes a Table of Contents that enables one to choose passages to return to for re-listening or study. This will increase the value of the audiobook many-fold. At the very least, please provide a .pdf cross-reference that may be used to find passages, Books, and Chapters.

Best Book Ever!

Ok 😐😕😀

I love the story of the bible it is great. But I was hoping for a little more excitement in the reading. He is ok for like an adult but for me i wish that he would read the bible as if he was reading an exiting and interesting story. In stead I think it sounds like he is reading an uninteresting story! I love the story and would recommend it for older then 12. But other then that it is great. And it is nice for quiet listening time and for listening when going to sleep.

Library Listing Needs Improvement

There is no way to listen to particular books or chapters of this Bible!!!!!! The table of contents doesn't list the way that matches the actual table of contents of the Bible. Super frustrating never would have made this purchase had I known about the lame way its listed in my library.

Audio Bible

One star deducted for lack of providing any sort of navigation whatsoever.

Trial and error.

No Clear Table of Contents.

Chapter 933. Is this the Old testament or New testament? Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John? Don't know. Just pick it and leave yourself a bookmark if it is the one you want.

Other than that, this version is enjoyable.

Great audio Bible

I highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a calming voice to read the Bible to you. Incredibke value as well, since it only costs one credit.

Max McLean really tells the stories of the bible in a captivating way that brings forth deeper understanding. This is an excellent audiobook for bible study!
