About this title

From AudioFile

THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE is just that--an experience--that bypasses many of the previous Bible recordings with a full show of music, sound effects, and a dazzling array of celebrity voices. The producers from Inspired By Media Group put together a cast of more than 80 African-American actors who deliver a rich, diverse rendering of the contemporary Today's New International Version (TNIV) translation in gospel-meeting style. Listeners are treated to a sort of aural kaleidoscope with layers of voices, sound, and music overlapping and occasionally colliding. The lavish production pulls out all the stops, so this is not a Bible recording for purists. If a modern multimedia production "experience" is what you're after, enjoy the fine voices and often dynamic dramatized readings. The "making of" DVD disc is an entertaining extra. R.F.W.

Review

“Inspired By...The Bible Experience is exactly what its title indicates, an experience. I’ve listened to many audio Bibles over the years, but none have achieved what The Bible Experience has, which is to bring the Bible to life in a very real, compelling, accessible and experiential way. I would strongly recommend that you listen to it and share it with others. I guarantee it will change the way you and they engage with the word of God.” -- John C. Maxwell, , Author

'I am a lover of the Bible. I own a very large collection of them from all over the world. I have been reading it in Dutch, German and English for most of my 79 years. I cannot live without regular, daily doses of the Word of God. However, I have never 'experienced' the Word of God in the unique way I have since I started listening to The Bible Experience. As a lover of God's Word, you owe it to yourself to regularly listen to The Bible Experience. It will make the Bible come even more alive for you as it has for me, especially when your eyes are too tired to read.' -- Brother Andrew, , Author

'The words written in the book of Acts have come to life in our living room as our family has sat listening together to The Bible Experience. The resulting family discussions have ignited conversations with our children about Jesus, the disciples, religion, the growth of the early church and the commitment of the early believers. I am thankful for this quality resource that brings the Word to life. We are telling all youth pastors and parents who come near Student Life about this incredible tool and its potential benefit to young people.' -- Randy Hall, , President

'The Bible Experience is exciting to listen to! If you want to hear a stirring audio recording of the Bible of the highest quality, then The Bible Experience is for you. Listen, and be prepared for an encounter with the Bible that you have never had before but you will certainly enjoy and remember!' -- Robert A. Schuller, , Senior Pastor

“As a pastor and a student of the Bible, I have spent most of my life reading it, studying it and preaching from it. It is a never-ending surprise to me how I find more to learn and apply the more I read it. Recently I obtained a copy of The Bible Experience, and to my amazement I found in it a way to experience the Bible that took my appreciation for it to another level. I highly commend The Bible Experience to everyone. You will discover how this incredible high quality, word for word, dramatic presentation of the Bible can take to new heights your appreciation for what the Word can do to change your life.” -- Dr. Robert Jeffress, , Senior Pastor

“Even if you've read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you have to listen to Inspired By...The Bible Experience. I guarantee you will walk away with a deeper appreciation and understanding of God's Word having experienced it through that such an amazing dramatic performance. I am strongly encouraging everyone in our congregation to listen to it, listen again, and to share it with others. It is truly remarkable.” -- Dr. Tom Mullins, , Senior Pastor

'When I first heard the impact of this one-of-a-kind recording, I immediately wanted to share it with my friends and staff members. This fully dramatized recording of the entire Bible on CD brings the Scriptures to life in a very real way, with an unprecedented ensemble of distinguished actors, musicians, and personalities. I have listened to it first-hand, and it moved me deeply.' -- Dr. David Jeremiah, , Founder
