The NIV Audio Bible read by David Suchet has been arranged into daily readings to help you listen to the complete Bible in one year. In this digital download version, there is a portion from the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Psalms or Proverbs each day - each on a separate track, to make it easy to navigate. Ever since he became a Christian at the age of 40, it was Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the whole Bible.

Love David's voice for listening to the Bible
Reviewed: 24-01-25
I listen whilst resting and I listen whilst reading my Bible as my adhd makes it hard to take in the physical book alone. I like his voice narrating and get so much more from listening.

First published in 1843, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and unpleasant man who dislikes people generally and Christmas especially. One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come and given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

Story5 out of 5 stars 11
It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne - everything - to rescue the one he loves. The best thing about this Story is - it’s true! And at the center of the story, there is a baby. The child upon whom everything would depend. All the stars, mountains, oceans, and galaxies were nothing compared to how much God loved his children. He would move Heaven and Earth to be near them. Always.

Great way to learn the core story of the Bible from creation to Jesus returning to heaven and in my opinion, the important bits without all the man made language input in between.
As a listener with adhd I found I didn't get bored.
David Suchet is Expressive and wonderful to listen to. I will definitely re listen soon.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,584
Aged 13, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld.

For such a long book, I cannot believe how quickly it goes. I love listening every spare minute I get. The narrator is fantastic and you can easily feel all the characters and scenes.
Very moving and entertaining. I googled top books to listen to and those came up, I'd not heard of it but thought I'd give it a try especially as the length is good value haha, turns out to be one of the best!!!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16,710
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow - and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last.

Respect to Harry for sharing his lived experiences, he is genuine and clearly as all his life is under a microscope anyway he has decided to air it all with truth. Why wouldn't he put the true story out there and also get a huge financial pay for it, he is a good human,husband and father.
