NIV Audio Bible - The Gospels - Matthew-John

Read by David Suchet

An audio Bible can enhance how you experience Scripture, especially when you are very busy, and your devotional times are short.  Many people listen to the NIV Audio Bible - The Gospels - Matthew-John while they are driving, jogging or doing housework.  Those with disability or literacy challenges also appreciate it.

The NIV, or New International Version, is the world's most popular Bible translation in modern English, and it is renowned for both its accuracy and readability.  It is the result of years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, overseeing the efforts of many contributing scholars drawn from a wide range of denominations and from various countries.

Ever since he became a Christian at the age of forty, it has been Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the whole Bible.  In between filming the final episodes of Poirot, David Suchet spent over 200 hours in the recording studio, and donated his fee to charity.  He created the very first full-length audio version of the whole NIV Bible [752,702 words!] spoken by a single non-American actor.  His deep, melodic, unrushed voice lends itself perfectly to listening to the Scriptures.

'Suchet became a Christian after reading a hotel room Bible in 1986.  His moment of epiphany came upon reading St Paul's epistle to the Romans, which proclaims:  "if God be for us, who can be against us?".' — The Irish Times.

'His use of light and shade is excellent, the clarity and diction is perfection and his voice extremely listenable.'  — Reflections.

'Suchet's voice, freed from the stiff disguise of Poirot's accent, is melodic but strong.  He reads in a measured way, always full of feeling.' — The Tablet.

This 9-hour recording contains the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  It  comes on one MP3 CD, and can be used on any device that displays the MP3 symbol.  You can also transfer the audio files for your personal use onto any other compatible device.
