Review–The Word of Promise Audio NT
I drive. A lot.
Sometimes I sit in silence, ok, I do that a lot.
So when Thomas Nelson offered me a free copy of the Audio New Testament on CD in exchange for writing a review I thought that seemed like a good idea.
This is an audio version of the New King James Version, not my favorite, done by a host of celebrities including Jim Caviezel as Jesus and a slew of other familiar Hollywood voices. It comes in a zippered case that makes it easy to bring into the car and each disc is around an hour of audio. The dramatization is enough to break things up and make it interesting without being too over the top. If I could change one thing it would be the translation, maybe ESV? Or how about The Message!
In summary, this is a great resource that I will continue to use often on my long drives in spite of it possibly leading me to start picturing Mary Magdalene looking a lot like Marisa Tomei. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a little more time with a bible and finds themselves in a car!
