The Essential King James Bible: Complete Stories from the Old and New Testaments

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, Wonderful!
Review: I cannot tell you how delighted I am with this CD set. It is amazing how many stories they were able to put on six CD's. They were selective, of course, but each story is complete in itself and doesn't "leave you wanting more." All of my favorites were here, including some I thought a bit obscure, like "Jacob's Ladder" and Nathan's "Parable of the Ewe Lamb" (following, of course, "David and Bathsheba"). The emphasis is on stories, so the prophets get short shrift, and I had the same feeling about the Epistles and Revelation, but on the whole, it is an excellent introduction or refresher to the KJV Bible. Jarvis and Ayres are wonderful readers, alternating with each story, and this item should be a welcome addition to anybody's audio library.

Summary: Excellent voices and "acting out".
Review: Martin Jarvis and Rosalind Ayres give a captivating account of the ESSENCE or essential stories of the Old and especially New Testaments. It is a must for those who don't have the time to read the whole Bible and put the various Books of the Bible in chronological order as you read it. Even if you have read the whole Bible or are going to read it, you must listen to this audio to put it all together in a wonderful meaningful way in your mind!
