Critic reviews

"[James Earl Jones'] performance is beautiful; he reads the entire work in a gentle tone that is so compelling that the listener will find it hard to switch off.... A truly inspiring production." (AudioFile)

"Somehow that voice of his, calm, deep, powerful...makes the words seem more thrilling than ever." (Washington Post)

Blessing for my Mom.

My Mom and I listen to this until she passed on. It will be a lasting memory.

Great and Easy listening

I have listened to the reading by James Earl Jones on a palm T3 and have found it to be a great way to listen to the scriptures. The music sometimes is a little loud, but he comes through loud and clear. I am an over the road driver so the noise is louder than most and I can hear clearly, and I highly recommend the download. Next time I will get it at the 3 level and not the 2, because I think the FM would be better.

Background music very relaxing

I am pleased with this audio book read by James Earl Jones. The music seems to tame the beast within us, that we may hear what God has for us. I would also suggest a little prayer for God's anointing and understanding (you can't go wrong here) and things will flow like magic in your mind. I've found this to be very restful before bed time, and awsome dreams!
