The Old Testament: cassettes
This cd with selections from the old testament are good for those who want to get to know about various characters from the bible and the events/storys with them. However, it left me wanting more, e.g. to read the bible itself for the full understanding of story being told. The actors voicies are excellent, however I found Josette Simon very low and had turn up the volume to hear her more clearly. For the purchase price its worth it but for the more in depth listners it would leave you thirsting for more of God's word. I dont believe that audio tapes should replace reading the bible, but that they should be used as a compliment to the bible. Especially when people's lives can be busy, a train journey, or on your way to work on the bus, while you are doing the chores! this cd would be good for such times.
