76 hours vs. 105 hours for the other one. a lot less white noise in this set.
do they offer a sample so that you can get an inkling of what you will be listening to for over 3 days of your life?

I just nick stuff from the internet. Which is bad, I admit.

Genesis Chapter 1 on the word of promise.

Is there a better audio bible than this? Any tips?

I think I'd prefer one where they were just reading it.
A screen play production may add something to the text that well, may not have
been there.

Any particular one?

I listened to a bit of one (N.T. only) read by Johnny Cash and I don't think his voice worked.

Worked for what? If you could understand him and he was not attempting to put
some inflection into his reading where he seemed to be stessing one passage over
another his would more than likely be as okay as the next guys. The point isn't
our "production" but what is in the scripture. If his voice was a distraction I'd
say get another, I'm sure there are sites that give small tastes of what it sounds
like as music studio's do with music.

If you want the music in the back ground, the actors reading as I pointed out
before you run the risk of having that change the text than if you were just
reading what was written. Any reading if the sound quality was good should
allow you to hear the scripture to the point where you get it. I've not spent a lot
of time listening to scripture, when I first got saved I used to write it out, I had
several note books filled with OT and NT scripture that I copied just so I could
retain it better.

I have not done that in years, it did help me at first thouigh.

I didn't like his voice.

With an audio version the point is the production and the voice. Absolutely so. The scripture is the scripture is the scripture.

I agree with you than, if his voice wasn't what you liked....get another.
Personal tastes will simply lead you now...I cannot know whose voice you will like.

I personally own an audio Bible which has Charlten Heston, (ie. Moses in person) reading the good word with commentary from pastor Hagee explaining how each passage can be applied via right winged politics and how Jesus was really a conservative. But just to be "fair and balanced", (just like Fox news), they also have pastor Rev. Wright explaining how each passage can be applied via left winged politics and how Jesus was really a socialist.

At the end of the audio Charlten Heson offers a discount for joining the NRA. In the background though, (just to be fair and balanced like Fox News), you can hear Rev. Wright Screaming that the chickens are coming home to roost for Charlten Heston and the NRA. It is a true value!!

At the end of the tape, assuming you have not killed yourself, you will have a better understanding of what the Bible is not really all about. 😛

William Burroughs' voice would be the best!!

His voice would imply the irony that goes with a lot of that bible rubbish 🙂

64 CDs? 957.22 MB? That's like less than 2 CDs. What is the content of the other 62 CDs?

The CDs contain audio files. Approx 600 MB = 60 mins = 1 CD. The 957.22 MB is the size of the mp3 files that I downloaded.
