King James Version on CD

By Joe Felim

I purchased the entire Bible series (Old and New Testament) on CD to replace the old cassettes. I major blessing this series has been, as The Word blesses us. I don’t make as much time as I should to sit down and read the Bible. But this series is a certain way to nourish The Spirit in us, and even leads me to make more time to actually sit down and read the Bible. Whether driving or at home, this series is excellent, and although it may sound cliche, it has changed my life, and continues to strengthen and nourish me in God’s word. I highly recommend this series. Don’t worry about the sometimes “hard to understand” language of the NKJ version, the series speaks to the spirit and soul, an intimate understanding and walk with God and His word can definitely be realized, just listen and let it sink in. If you come across parts that are difficult to understand or interpret, make a note or stop the series on the points that need to be better understood, and research them. There are many ways to do so, church, study Bibles, internet sites designated to better understanding of God’s word. If you haven’t committed to reading the Bible or haven’t made a way in your schedule to do so yet, this is an excellent way to begin, or to keep in God’s word.

I ordered this product for a friend of mine who has MS and can’t get out a lot. She has a hard time reading the Bible on her own. So, we decided to get her the CD’s so she could sit down with a portable player and listen to it any time she wanted to hear it. Her and her husband have been listening to the CD’s on a regular CD player and have enjoyed it very much. I’m so grateful to have been able to order this product for them because they are both enjoying them so much. The product came well packed and in a very nice zippered case with a handle to make them very transportable. The sound is crisp and clear to listen to without a headset or on player with headset. So glad to have purchased this at such a bargain price.

I have really just began using the King James Version Audio disks. So far the only problem I have found is that the label for the CD does not always match the index when selecting from the autoplay feature. (I think this discrepancy can be found around Judges or Joshua.) When you start up the CD it will play in autoplay from the correct Book and chapter but you cannot select the chapter. There have been some mispronunciations and/or word substitutions that I have noticed from Gen to Judges. The speed of the reading is more appropriate for many readers than some other recordings to which I have listened. A VERY POSITIVE BENEFIT FOR THAT. However, there seems to be some lapses in energy-feeling-expressiveness but then will pick back up later.

Bible on DVDs

By Joe Felim

When I got this from Thomas Nelson, my kids were so glad to have a new DVDs to watch and immediately asked if they can watch it. So we all sat down and started watching. As you can probably surmise, the DVDs is a collection of thirteen stories from the Bible. The Stories include: The Beginning, Adam & Eve, The Flood, Abram, Isaac & Rebekah, Jacob & Esau, Rachel, Jacob & God, John the Baptist, Jesus is Born, Jesus is Tempted, Jesus Love Children, and One Lost Sheep. If you haven’t told your kids about these stories, then this is a good starting point for you.

I have found that the best way to see if DVDs’s for kids are any good is to test them on the kids. Well, I did. Believe me when I say that my kids are DVDs addicts. They love watching them and when they like something they have a tendency to watch them repeatedly to the point that they know the soundtracks and dialogue by heart.

They were very much enraptured from the moment the first story came on. Because it’s in English, it’s easier to understand for them. The narration was subtle, just the right tone for storytelling for kids. The language was also pretty straightforward so kids won’t be too overwhelmed if they were to watch the DVDs by themselves.

The best part about it is that the stories themselves are very short and quick that works well for kids and their short attention spans. Before they even get bored a new one starts so that’s good.

More Complete, More Easy

By Joe Felim

There are many different types of audio Bibles you can get today depending on your needs and lifestyle. If you regularly use a home or work computer and would like to listen to Bible passages during your lunch break or when you get home, you can find Christian websites where you can order or download an audio Bible online. If you think you would benefit the most from listening the Bible on CD, there are many retail and online stores that now sell the Bible on CD for a reasonable price. Bibles on CD are great because they are very versatile. You can listen to them on your car or home stereo system, play them on portable CD players - you can even play a Bible on CD on the media player on your computer.

If you are like most practicing Christians, you probably have a treasured family or personal Bible and attend church on a regular basis to continue learning the teachings of Christ. But, audio Bibles can help you take the Bible with you to many places you probably never realized. You can spend time listening to them while you are driving to and from work everyday. Your family can listen to the whole audio Bible (about 72 hours) on a long road trip. You can even listen to audio Bibles while you are out jogging or at the gym. They are quickly becoming a convenient way to take the Bible with you everywhere you go.

If you are one of the more technically savvy people out there, an audio Bible MP3 could be exactly what you’re looking for. A Bible MP3 can be uploaded to iPod or MP3 player so you can listen to it on the subway, while you are out running or taking a nice stroll, while you bike to class or practically anywhere, since most MP3 players can fit right in your pocket. In addition to a full MP3 Bible, you can also sign up for Bible podcasts or free audio Bible downloads to play on your iPod or MP3 player as well. Now that the internet is an everyday tool for millions of people worldwide, the number of Bible-related podcasts continue to grow with every passing month.

Imagine how enriched your life could become if you spent even 10 minutes a day listening to an audio Bible or daily Bible podcasts that you can download to your iPod. It is an exciting and inspiring prospect to think about it, and it’s easier than ever to get started.
