A very good reading. I think it would have been nice if they put the music on only one channel so you could turn it off if you wanted, but it is not too loud. An earlier version had no music but many corrections that were distracting. Watch out, the internet has some very wrong track titles. One was under something like folk music and the other as compilations, but neither was correct. They were often whole chapters and books off. I might submit a correction if I can get my laptop working again. Luckily I made mp3s that fit the whole thing on two CDs for my car and home mp3 players.
I am so glad I ordered this! It's perfect for those struggling to find time to daily read God's word & still get their responsibilities accomplished. Mr. Jones soothing voice creates an appropriate atmosphere for hearing God's word, and the peaceful background music adds a special touch. On a humorous note, I decided to start my day concentrating on the Lord while listening to one of these CDs. Sitting upright in my recliner I found I became easily distracted by things reminding me of my duties, so I closed my eyes & leaned back to listen and concentrate on God. Well, Mr. Jones soothing voice, coupled with the calming background music, put me to sleep before he could even read the 3rd verse -- and I'd just gotten up after sleeping all night! This reading brought the reality of the scriptures home to me, especially those that say He gives His beloved sleep; and Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee. I didn't wake up for 3 hours, with the CD long ended; but it was a wonderful rest -- the best I've had in ages -- and I thank God for the opportunity to have this set. Whether driving down the highway or sweeping the floor while it plays, His word gets implanted in one's heart and, hopefully, lived through us. I encourage everyone to get a copy and use it daily. You'd be surprised how your outlook changes and your spiritual strength is renewed.Read full review
I became a fan of the voice of Jams Earl Jones aswell as himself as an actor. But it was first as his voice as "Darth Vader" in the movie,"StarWars". Then his character as a wizard and high priest in the first Conan the Barbarian. His character was a HUGE POWER with a commanding voice that was a perfect role for him. Now I have told you about the Dark commanding voices that are so reckonisable to any one that lived in the 70's and 80's. Well to my surprize in this role of reading our most precious Book filled with The Words Of Our Most High God, J.E.Jones could not sound more humble and meaningful. At times he made me tear up. As a long time fan of Alexander Scourby and so many others. James brings a new more sensative, humble and very soothing voice to Our Most Precious Book. HE WILL NOT PUT YOU TO SLEEP THOUGH. It's more like a meditiating music I would listen to as I read and studY The Bible. His voice just seems to combined the two elements in an even better medium. So in short if you like or need to listen to The Bible plainly spoken with even the hardest words, and names read as smoothly as the simple ones, I highly recommend This Journey read from the lips of my very 1rst voice icon of my childhood. He has been a special actor/artist for over 30? some thing years to me; a 41yr. old white male whom was saved from my sins nearly 5yrs. ago. I hope this helps your decision making, and thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts of my experience with this MasterPiece. God Bless you and yours as He sees fit, in Jesus' Most Holy name, AmenRead full review
Jones does not overdramatize but reads clearly and moves along. We enjoy his marvelous voice. We wish there were no background music, but it is soft and rarely intrudes. We have already recommended his reading to our friends.
