It's a good one

Narrator is fine, background music is low and not distracting. Probably my favorite version, and I wanted to keep listening. Sometimes the Old Testament is a chore, but this was well done. I will listen to this again.

A nice way to get a daily consumption of Scripture

Listening at 2x speed isn't too fast neither, therefore I feel confident that I can even listen to the whole ESV Bible once a month thanks to colorful performance of the reader.

I like this

I like the low not distracting music its a good way to listen to the word but the old books is most of this bible.

Good recording - Great translation

The recording is high quality with some soft background music that I at 1st thought would be distracting, but after listening for a while found it not to be so.
This is the 1st time I have listened to the ESV and must say that I really enjoy the way it flows. Very simple yet accurate translation. I currently read from the NKJV but I will probably switch to this with the purchase of my next Bible.

Two great aspects and one drawback

1. The narration is compelling but not annoying.
2. The ESV is used.

However, the various books are not listed when one looks at the audible app. I had to go through each of the 70 or 80 chapters and put bookmarks for the names of each book. that was a lot of work. I still cannot find the books in my side open that section and read the book marks. a way to label each section would help me find which part I want to listen to.

History's best seller!

This is THE BOOK. No other book has had nearly the impact on the world that this Book of books has had. You simply cannot be historically or culturally literate without intimate acquaintance with this book.

The narration is first rate. Only drawback is that it is very difficult to navigate. I suggest listening to it all the way through from Genesis to Revelation. From beginning to end, and making a bookmark every time you begin a new book of the Bible.

This is the only book that the Only God inspired. Do yourself a favor, ask the God of the Bible, the Father of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to give you eyes to see awesome things from His Holy Word!

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. This is it! Get ready for a guided tour of reality by the Creator and Sustainer of everything that has been created.

Simply Fantastic

I love SCRIPTURE and I find this way to be a great way to bee in the Word. My only negative is the Bible is divided by Books the chapters. This version only has chapters, starting at one with no division by Books, making it difficult to navigate to a particular passage I might want to hear. Otherwise it is great!! 💗❤️💖💕

This Is A Bible Translation I've Grown To Love!

Well read. In alignment with other translations. It is also easy to understand, even at 2X.

5 stars but please read**********

I love listening to this. However Audible apparently refuses to let them retitle the chapters, therefore making it hugely difficult to navigate easily to a certain book, chapter and verse. Come on Audible!!!get with it!!!!

I'm so grateful!

I love everything about this audible really. There's only one thing I pray that would change about most audiobooks is that they would title the chapters! That'd be a huge plus! If I was to consider the missing titles (ease of navigation) in my rating, it'd be a 3-star rate, but I'm choosing to rate the narrator and presentation only.
All the way from the spoken Word of God, to the narrator, down to the background music is just seamlessly awesome!
I play this audible nearly every night & morning. Hallelujah 🙌🏾 ‼️
