First, let me say I am a Bible Study instructor, so my review is based not only on the product, but the accuracy of it's content. The Bible Experience is wonderful to listen to during times when you cannot read the Holy Bible itself. Driving or activities where an MP3 player can be used are transformed into new experiences -like being transported back in time to the Holy Lands, while listening to these CDs. The artistry of the cast, combined with the presence of the Holy Spirit, (not so much on the recordings as in your own heart as you listen), magnify the Lord, while encouraging and yes, inspiring, me and you. If you are already familiar with other more accurate translations/versions of the Bible, you will be able to follow along with reasonable clarity and understanding. I use this tool to play the passage we're about to study just before I teach Bible Study from the other, more accurate, trusted and proven versions of the Holy Bible. I use it for the purpose of bringing everyone onto one accord, so we're all on the same page before the instructional part of the lesson begins. Most of our students find this enjoyable and helpful, especially when they haven't had the opportunity to read the passage in advance. That said, the only way you could go wrong with this product is to rely on it exclusively. I would not use this as the primary tool for teaching Bible Studies. There are other versions of the Holy Bible which are more true to the original intent of Scripture. Personally, I use (and prefer) the King James Version, the New International Version and the Amplified Bible and the NASB. The NET Bible and The Message are often useful when trying to find other, more contemporary ways of saying the same thing. The "Comparative Study Bible", also from Zondervan is well regarded for this reason. The TNIV was so controversial in its release that Zondervan has discontinued it in its printed form, (a responsible move in my opinion), until it is fully and accurately revised in 2011. Many top Bible scholars and top theologians agree even more vehemently, that the TNIV in it's current form, has no place in the Church as a source of instruction on the Word of God.

Having this set of CDs has been a true blessing and then some! Up to this point, I've had so much trouble committing to reading the Bible, especially the Old Testament, because I spent more time tripping over words and sentence structure. Now, listening to the Word as it comes to life with sound effects and different actors in the NIV has been absolutely groundbreaking for me! Even when they are listing the names of someone's lineage it makes sense and actually sounds interesting! I feel like an idiot for not buying this sooner. It really makes me want to pick up the word and check to see if what happened really happened. It motivates me to keep listening and studying, so that I can "show myself approved," so that I can be more knowledgeable about the promises that God has for me, and so I can get to know God better. For a while I wouldn't buy CDs, because I thought that wasn't really reading the Bible and that maybe that wouldn't be as acceptable to God for me to learn His Word this way. How silly?! I think this is why God allowed me to be born during this time on Earth, because He knew that I was an audio-visual learner, who would benefit more from this Bible reading approach. I've retained so much more information driving and listening to CDs than I ever would have by just reading in my bedroom. Plus, you become a captive audience, if you listen while you drive. It's easy to get distracted at home and find other things to do with your time. But in the car, you generally listen to something - why not make it God's Word?!!!Read full review
This is a very well recorded CD set of the over all Bible. I can see why they call it the "Bible Experience" because hearing the Cd's is a great Experience!! I take them on walks with me & I can also listen to them while there is other things going on in my home that may keep me from being able to read the Bible. I just put on the head phones & follow along in my Bible verse by verse. I also use them in the car on trips or just short distances. This is an altogether Excellent production and very real. The background noises of (water, lambs, crowds...) is as if you are at that place, at that time. If you don't have the Bible Experience, your missing out on a wonderful blessing for kids - to any age adult.
If you have trouble reading the Bible or listening to the standard mono toned Bible Cds, then you need to buy this set. I just finished listning to the new version of this set and I can say that this set once again WOWED me from start to finish. The new version has both OLD & NEW Testaments. The real life sound of this cd set, combined with wonderful music, allows you the listener to experience the bible as if you were right there. You are able to view a more humanistic side of the bible, which allows you a better chance at being able to understand the bible more fully and to conect with the people of the bible. You will also be wowed when you hear this set! I recomend everyone to buy this set, young and older alike will love it
I discovered this product about 8 years ago and this is my 12th bible experience. I have given as gifts and everyone loves them, including my daughter and me. Awesome and I love the experience of the complete bible on CD's. I do not loan my Bible Experience to no one. It is the Holy word of God. I just want to bless others like I have been bless.
