I was brought to tears many times and I rejoiced for a new appreciation of "God's Book." The Whole Good News - Alive! I got The Book of God as a gift on cassette many years ago. but This won't substitute for your Bible, but it sure will bring the Bible to life! It's true the author has used some literary license to fill in some blanks, but he clothes the Biblical characters in flesh and blood! And the narrator is EXCELLENT. If you have never read a chronological Bible, this is going to be a special treat for you. Several friends to whom I have recommended the audiobook say the same thing. Hang in for a while and at the end of this very long book, all you can do is eagerly look forward to the other one on the life of Paul. The voice of the guy that reads it grates on you at first, but he is able to be many voices through the course of the book, and becomes very intimate and convincing. Awesome book! This man has made me cry tears of joy and wonder. Just reading the Bible never brought me back for clarification, but this book brought me back to the Bible. I find myself remembering parts that I never would think of before and pick up the Bible to re-read different chapters and verses with a new understanding. I have a different impression of Simon Peter,Mary Magdaline,the time of Abraham and even Judas. It made the stories and the people much more alive and real.
