Listen to Angela Bassett as Esther!

“As a pastor and a student of the Bible, I have spent most of my life reading it, studying it and preaching from it. It is a never-ending surprise to me how I find more to learn and apply the more I read it. Recently I obtained a copy of The Bible Experience, and to my amazement I found in it a way to experience the Bible that took my appreciation for it to another level. I highly commend The Bible Experience to everyone. You will discover how this incredible high quality, word for word, dramatic presentation of the Bible can take to new heights your appreciation for what the Word can do to change your life.”

—Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas

In today’s edition of USA TODAY, read the article "The words of God are made flesh." It explains that the multi-award-winning and critically-acclaimed Inspired by… The Bible Experience will be released as a complete Bible (both Old Testament and New Testament) in November. Also see the Zondervan news release about the announcement.

I just received word that The Bible Experience New Testament has been named Audio Book of the Year—the most prestigious award for excellence in audio books—by the Audio Publishers Association (APA). This is a secular organization, mind you, naming a Bible as the top audio book of 2007.

An award like this will undoubtedly encourage people who may have never considered reading the Bible to listen to God’s word. And we know God’s Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11)!

In case you haven’t heard it yet, I invite you to listen to a sample or two:

>>Jesus tempted in the wilderness

Take a look at the inspiring behind-the-scenes videos of the recording sessions available on YouTube and the Zondervan Website.
