The Best Audio NT Out There!

I've listened to just about every audio bible out there: Scourby, Johnston, Zorsky, Peck, McLean, and several others I can't even recall. Some were unlistenable from start. Others would start off fine and then, after a while, you realized that it was EATING YOUR BRAIN! I was about to give up on listening to audio bibles altogether when I stumbled on this one, where the Man in Black reads the NT. From the first moment I started listening, I knew I had finally found The One.

Cash reads the NT in a manner that engages you and draws you in. He sounds like he's talking *with* you, not *at* you; like he's talking to a close friend and not up on stage talking to strangers. I've only had this audio bible for a few weeks but I've already listed to it for dozens of hours (I hike a lot and listen to it while hiking).

The translation used is the NKJV, which is a good, faithful translation but lacks the "clang and flavour" of the KJV. Reading the NKJV is like drinking decaffeinated coffee-- same basic brew but lacks the punch and kick of the fully-caffeinated KJV. Nevertheless, this audio bible is an outstanding production.

This product is the NT only. For Psalms, Alex Jennings' rendition of the KJV Book of Psalms is incomparable.

Amazing

Marty Stewart once said, if God had a voice it would probably sound like Johnny Cash. I listen to my ipod practically every night as I go to sleep. The New Testament being read by a true legend. WOW! I can't think of a better way to end a day :-) Thanks Johnny! Thanks Jesus!

Very Good

This is my favorite version of the New Testament that I've heard so far. I really like Johnny's voice. It comes across in such a warm and calm way, which results for a very enjoyable listen.

Johnny Cash's Voice works well with the Bible

One of the greatest voices matched up with the greatest book ever written. Only one regret... he didn't read the old testament.

If You Like J Cash

I have several copies of the New Testament in audio format. Unfortunately, many of these have music accompanyment. Why is that necessary? We don't hear music with other books except as introduction and ending - perhaps.

Over all this is a good alternative for individuals who wish to listen to the New Testament. I personally enjoy Johnny Cash and enjoy this addition to Audible. I would prefer some of the others if they were available without the music which I find a distraction. If you want music accompanyment - this version is not for you.

Every word; every second so amazingly perfect

Reverent, but needs index

I love this performance, but really wish there was a way to go to a particular chapter or book or verse. Has anyone out there done the work to index this?

How can it NOT be good?

Some people like those big audio Bible productions with multiple actors and music and sound effects, but not me. This one is the best. Cash is one of the great American voices but also a man to whom the Bible means a great deal, and that comes through in this recording.

It's the word and our instructions from God

Old times sensation

What other book might you compare Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament to and why?

No other book to compare. It is the word and wisdom of God to help us strive to perfection. Wether it is read from a child or from Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash gives it a sensation of a father reading to his family from times long past.
