Perfect for Newbies

By Joe Felim

I am by no means a Bible expert. My parents had very little religious influence on me. Now that I’m on my own and in my mid 20’s I took it upon myself to find out what it’s all about.

I chose the NIV because it’s simple and easy to comprehend for me (I get lost with all the “thou’s, shalt’s, etc.” in the King James version). I read a review here once that bashed this NIV bible CD because it wasn’t the King James version and it wasn’t in “God’s words”. Well guess what? Unless you speak and read Hebrew they are all translations!

I also chose this CD dramatized version because I’m on the road 4hrs a day along with a regular 8hr work day and have very little time to sit down and read.

The dramatization really helps to visualize the scenarios. On rare occasions it does get slightly cheesy, but overall it’s very tasteful.

If you’re new to religion and/or need something laid out right in front of you in plain simple English this is EXACTLY what you need!

Discovering the Niv Bible

by Susan Slobac

For many reasons, people do not have as much time to read as they might once have had. This can be due to a busy work schedule, family obligations, and other time constraints. When time is tight yet you would like to get some Bible study in, one easy way to do that is to listen to the Bible being read. This is easily available when you utilize the audio Bible as part of your regular Bible study program. The NIV audio Bible, along with other popular versions, are available in an audio bible CD format or an MP3 audio Bible version. All you need to do is pop the CD into your CD player in your home, car or portable player, and listen while you drive or work around the house. Tiny mp3 players loaded with the audio Bible make Bible study an easily portable pursuit. Time will fly by when you take your favorite version of the audio Bible with you in mp3 format for your next workout. But, no matter the ease and convenience of an audio Bible, there are still many readers who prefer the classic NIV version of the Bible with its remarkable history and origins.

Translation work on what ultimately became the New International Version of the Bible began in 1965, and was worked upon by a multi-denominational group of theologians, including Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Evangelicals and others. These scholars hailed from all over the globe, including the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The first full NIV translation version was available in 1978, and a modified version came out in 1984. What sets the NIV Bible apart from other versions is that it is known as a Protestant translation that closely follows traditional conservative Evangelical theology.

There are study versions of the audio Bible that feature the New Testament that many find useful on a day to day basis. If you have never actually read through the entire New Testament, that is a great place to start in your Bible study. There are CDs available that break the New Testament up into forty short sections, and if you can spare 30 minutes every day to devote to listening to this program, you will be able to read the entire New Testament in only 40 days. If you have not spent much time exploring the Bible, this program provides a wonderful way to go about it. It does all of the organization and planning for you, so all you need to do it play the CD on your CD or DVD player or computer, and you will be able to fit this valuable New Testament study into your schedule at your convenience.

Your spiritual life does not have to stagnate because of a lack of time. Let the audio Bible help you fit Bible study back into your life in an easy way, and see how it helps your spiritual growth.
