Audio Bible - New Century Version, NCV: Complete Bible

Audio Bible

By: Thomas Nelson

Narrated by: Ronnie Meek

Hear God's written Word spoken! Thomas Nelson introduces the NCV Audio Bible. Perfect for today's busy lifestyle. Narrated by Rev. Ronnie Meek, a 17-year veteran pastor with 30 years of theater experience, you can hear the most wonderful book ever written through the voice of a master storyteller. Be inspired by an all-original music score as a background for this amazing story.

Good narration, distracting music

This would be one of my favorite Bible audiobooks if the music were less distracting. It's not so much that it's repetitive -- though it is, at times -- as that it's sometimes too loud.

Ronnie Meeks is a great storyteller, and the NCV is probably one of the best translations for audiobook listening; it's a translation, not a paraphrase, but it sticks to a simple vocabulary and uses straightforward syntax. It's similar in a lot of ways to the CEV or GNT versions but is (in my opinion) better than either of those.

I'm hoping that this will be made available in Audible's new enhanced format. There's a good possibility this will smooth out the clash between music and narration, as it did on Audible's version of The Bible Experience.

One note about the way music is used here. Each chapter has its own musical background. The music varies in quality (some is quite good, some mediocre); all selections are composed, or at least recorded, in a loop, so it can play through the whole chapter regardless of how long the chapter is. The music usually fits the mood of the beginning of the chapter, though sometimes, if there are abrupt transitions within a chapter, it doesn't always fit by the end. Still, I find that having the music helps in listening. If the volume-control issues get resolved, so much the better.

Good audio version

Features narration by Ronnie Meek, the best audio bible narrator. Music is played making listening more enjoyable.

Perfect for my needs

I bought this knowing that it would only work for listening to the Bible straight through and not for being able to select specific books and stuff like that. So it has been perfect for my needs. This translation is SO clear and easy to listen to and follow. One of my favorites. Sometimes the music is a little distracting, but it didn't bother me at all. Super thankful for this recording! I've been looking for something like it for some time.

Would have preferred with no background music
