Good resource to go with your One Year Bible Unfortunately I cannot look up the verses because the audiobook doesn't tell you where the narrator is reading. I'm not familiar with this translation and more than once I wanted to look up the text because I was surprised by a word choice. The only flaw in this audiobook is that it usually does not make it clear WHERE he's reading from, which is a problem especially in the Old Testament where he moves around between various books of the Bible. There are lots of times when the Bible's words moved me. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? He adds the right amount of inflection so I can hear some emotion in the words without his voice pandering to emotionalism. He reads slow enough to be heard but not so slow as to be ponderous. What about Todd Busteed’s performance did you like? I hear the whole story of the Bible in chronological order, which can get repetitive at times in the Old Testament but it's instructive to see how many times and ways the same story is reflected in various places. It's not the best but it ranks up there among the top ten so far. Where does The One Year Chronological Bible NLT rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? Interesting way to read Bible in One Year We all have moments when our hands are occupied but our minds aren't-what better way to fill those moments than with the Word of God? Now that I've finished, I plan to start all over again. With an audio format, reading the Bible through every year is very doable, even for very busy lives. Having the Word poured into my mind while I'm getting ready in the morning or driving or chopping vegetables for dinner is a great way to keep me focused on truth, even if I don't catch every word. But listening is a great way to add the Bible into the moments of my day when I can't hold a book. The struggle with listening is that it's easy to get distracted, so I still think actual study is important. I prefer other translations and formats for in-depth Bible study, but having a slightly different translation than what I've always read jarred my attention just enough to keep me from skimming over familiar verses. You can really feel how it was a rescue mission to a world that didn't deserve it, and the power of God's love and commitment to His creation hit me more powerfully than if I had started in at the Gospel accounts.

For example, after slogging through hours and hours of depressing stories of Israel turning away from God in the Old Testament, the story of Jesus' incarnation truly felt like light bursting into darkness. There is something powerful about listening to the entire story of the Bible from beginning to end in modern English. It was fascinating to have the psalms placed within the stories when they were written, the epistles within the stories of Acts, etc. The NLT is a faithful translation that reads very easily, so is a great translation to listen to in chronological order.
