This is a full, unabridged, uninterrupted version of The Book of Jonah, read by best-selling faith-based narrator, Steve Cook. It contains no commentary or other human adornment; only the pure, living Word of God, profitable for teaching, convicting, correcting, and instructing in righteousness. The reading is taken from the Revised Geneva Translation of the Holy Bible.

The RGT was borne of a need to memorize and speak Scripture out loud with specific meanings and inflections. It is a 21stc-entury update of the very first widely distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, The Geneva Bible (Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation).

Just as in all preceding centuries, Biblical text in the 1500s was meant to be heard and seen as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate (especially Gentiles) and needed to memorize it and speak it back to each other often in order to facilitate meditation and activation. The RGT was created with that in mind. It is specifically designed to be spoken and heard, repeatedly and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past: speaking God's word back to each other in community.

"It is our hope that this project will be a living and active Bible for this generation, built for hearing and doing." (Matthew7:24).

"[T]hat your faith might not be in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God." (1Corinthians 2:5)
