Word of Promise Next Generation – New Testament: Dramatized Audio Bible
The Word of Promise Next Generation – New Testament: Dramatized Audio Bible is a great addition to anyone’s library if you have children. My own children know a lot of the actors from their various roles in currently popular movies and t.v. shows and this audio Bible certainly appeals to them. The DVD that comes with it includes interviews with several of the actors, and it is obvious that some of them have a relationship with Christ. It is just as obvious that some do not, although they try really hard to “talk the talk”, but my kids were encouraged by the ones that spoke of their relationship with Christ in meaningful terms.
I have listened to a couple other dramatized audio Bibles and the associated sounds and music would at times be distracting from the text being read. That is not the case with The Word of Promise Next Generation version. While some of the dialog did seem at times a little stilted, I was never distracted by it or the background sounds. The actors read from the International Children’s Bible and it is a very understandable version for the target audience to use for listening to the Bible. While I would not recommend it as the sole source of the Scriptures, even for the audience to which it is targeted, it certainly accomplishes the goal of getting younger teens to spend more time in the Word.
I listened to this this as part of Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger Program.
