Amazon.com Exclusive: A Letter From Carl Amari, Producer of The Word of Promise

Dear Friends,

I am very excited for you all to experience The Word of Promise New Testament Audio Bible. It has been a true labor of love and I’m thrilled that it has finally released.

I would like to take a few minutes to share with you how The Word of Promise came to be. As a young man, I was introduced to and intrigued by recordings of old radio shows. Long before the advent of TV, people were entertained by radio mysteries, comedies and dramas. These stories were presented by actors, complete with sound effects and music enhancing the experience. The imagination, which we have all but forgotten today, was totally engaged.

While in college, I started a company to market these audio gems of the past. In only a few years, Radio Spirits became the largest seller and marketer of classic radio shows in the world.

Then during the filming of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ I visited the set in Rome. Seeing first hand what Mel was creating, and encountering his vision for the film, made a profound and lasting impression on me.

One night, over two years ago, while reading to my children from the Bible, the vision of a dramatized version of the Bible began to take shape in my heart. Why not engage the powerful medium of audio to impact lives with the Word of God as the radio shows from yesterday impacted me as a child? We could reach more people.

Only a few years later and by the profound grace of God, the combined efforts of an incredibly talented group of artisans have brought forth an audio New Testament that I believe will stand the test of time. I've never been more excited or passionate about a project and I want to thank God and everyone who has touched this in their own unique way...especially you. Savor these eternal words "which will not pass away" and may many blessings be yours as a result.

God Bless,

Carl Amari
CEO, Falcon Picture Group
Producer, The Word of Promise

PRELIMINARY REVIEW 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Normally I don't do this... I'll give a product a good going over before I review it. However this is "on order" as a gift from a family member, but I couldn't wait, I saw it in the store and thumbed through it for a few minutes.

My initial impressions appear here. Set aside the "controversy" you've been seeing on here (granted, I'm Catholic, not Orthodox, so I might be missing something). This is a translation of the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), and the New Testament is the New King James Version.

This is a nice hardcover Bible, with some big colorful icons interspersed. There are nice introductions and foot notes for each book, traditional interpretations of what each book says and who wrote it, plus extensive prayers, "how to read the bible," canon lists, and liturgical calendar type stuff in the back (maps and the like as well).

As expected, this includes the Deuterocanonical books found in Catholic bibles, placed in the traditional order for Orthodox (Orthodox view the Septuagint itself, which always included these "extra" books not found in the Hebrew, as the inspired canon of the "Old Testament") plus the Anagignoskenomena not found in the Catholic canon (ex: 3 Maccabees, 1 Esdras). Some of the books are named differently as well, keeping with Orthodox tradition (1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings are known as "1-4 Kingdoms").

I didn't check to see if the Psalms were numbered according to the LXX or were the Septuagint (rather than Masoretic) translation. I know that was a sticking point with some Orthodox, but I didn't have the time to compare.

This provides a both a handy reference for the Bible, from a Christian believer's standpoint, and also a nice introduction to some basic Orthodoxy for non-Orthodox.

I liked the fact that the CHURCH FATHERS are referenced in the footnotes, showing for example what John Chrysostom thought of certain passages of the Gospel of John.

The trouble is, and hopefully this will be fixed in a future addition, there is no SPECIFIC CITATION given. So if I want to know in what book John Chrysostom said such and such, I have go to looking through his complete works to find out. Not everyone realizes you can look that stuff up online, but it would have been nicer, if they had done the quotations like David Bercot's "A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs" which gave specific citations. So we're just trusting the author that the Patristic writer really said this somewhere (though it may be a paraphrase).

The pages are thinner than expected and the book is surprisingly lightweight, but feels good in the hands. The paper isn't too cheap (I hate "newsprint" type bibles).

I'll probably revise this once I own the thing myself and have more time to use it, but for now, it's worth getting... an above average Bible, and has a certain "one-of-a-kind-ness" to it even if you already own a half a dozen Bibles (like I do).

Oh, and it's missing 4 Maccabees, but then I guess that text was never considered "canonical" by the Eastern Orthodox church, and was only in an "appendix" to the Septuagint (unlike 1-3 Maccabees).

What I've seen so far is good, though there could be a few improvements (like direct citations of the Patristic commentary).

Editorial Review:

• New Testament from the New King James Version
• Commentary drawn from the early Church Christians

Th use of the expressions [LARGE PRINT] and (Leather Bound) are misleading, as pointed out by earlier reviewers. I am now selling the book, unread.

Seller very trust worthy 5 out of 5 stars.

My purchase from this seller was purchased one week after two other purchases from other sellers. This one arrived two days later. I thought it was one of the other orders and was amazingly surprised when it was the one I just purchased. Book was in excellant condition. Never even opened and much cheaper than anyone else for the same book. I expected it to have been at least opened. It never was. I recommend purchase from this buyer and will look for them again on my next purchase. THANK YOU!

Editorial Review:

Comfortably sized and great on the eyes, Nelson's NKJV Large Print UltraSlim Bible offers the best of both worlds.  Finally, you can have a Bible that fits nicely in your hands with print large enough for any reader.  It is a great Bible for pastors to use while preaching and teaching.  It's also perfect for daily reading for all Christians.

John Macarthur has done his homework and is so knowledgable. If you are left without other resources such as a concordance or bible dictionary (they are not always so handy), it is a great bible to have. It is my main bible that I use. Very informative.

Editorial Review:

Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time!

Dr. John MacArthur has compiled more than 20,000 study notes, and numerous charts, maps, outlines, and articles to create The MacArthur Study Bible. No other study Bible does such a thorough job of explaining the historical context, unfolding the meaning of the text, and placing it within a theological framework.

The "Swiss Army Knife" of Study Bibles! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

After trying out several other personal study Bibles, I settled on this one as my everyday, go-to Bible. I purchased the leather bound, burgundy one with index. It really has a quality look, feel, and the indexes are a wonderful help in studying The Word. There is so much USEFUL information and marvelous study helps. The Life Principles and Answers to Life's Questions always seem to pop up at just the moment I need them or the Holy Spirit wants me to read them. It is one of the most blessed and blessing editions of the Bible I have ever read. Dr. Stanley can be proud of this legacy work. It will continue comforting/helping people for generations to come. It is that good of a resource for the Believer. I have also used the Life Principles Daily Bible for about 6 months as my morning quiet time/devotional. It is too is awesome.

Editorial Review:

Loved and respected by millions for his Bible teaching, Dr. Charles Stanley, "America's Pastor", has helped lead believers all over the world into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ, full of growth and maturity. The Charles Stanley Life Principles Bible takes the life-changing principles Dr. Stanley has gleaned through years of Bible teaching and ministry and pairs them with NKJV scripture for a Bible unlike any other. Through helpful articles on what the Bible has to say about key topics and answers to life's questions, you will learn important life principles that lead to a full and mature Christian experience.

The Voice of the Man in Black 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Here's what absolutely amazes me about Johnny Cash -- and the reason that, after more than 30 years in journalism, I have to admit I still have such an emotional reaction to this country singer -- is that his famous struggles with temptation and faith have directly crossed over to the next generation.

There's something as honest as a razor blade about Cash. His "man in black" garb clearly wasn't merely a costuming choice for his stage act. His concern for the poor and marginalized clearly wasn't just another star's hobby. In fact, I went back and purchased DVDs of some of Cash's TV shows, because I'm so intrigued by this man, this artist, this man of faith.

I own dozens of Bibles and a half dozen audio Bibles -- but it's the Cash disks that keep winding up in my van with me when I'm traveling. There's nothing flashy in this recording, which was done back in the 1990s and doesn't have any of the Hollywood special effects that are popular in current audio Bibles.

This is the New King James Version so some of the phrases sound a little stilted to our ears, unless we've stayed with this majestic old rendering throughout our lives. But that's not a bad thing. I'm not a King James reader, on a regular basis, but there's something about the poetry of this particular translation -- coming to my ears in that voice of The Man in Black, knowing some of the incredible spiritual journey that he pursued through these years -- and the overall effect is mesmerizing.

Editorial Review:

The New Testament of the New King James Version is read in its entirety by music legend Johnny Cash. After 20 years of encouragement from his mother to record the Bible, he approached the recording of the New Testament with "fear, respect, awe, and reverence for the subject matter." Cash said further, "I also did it with a great deal of joy, because I love the Word." Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament, is 19 hours of hearing the Word of God from one of the most distinctive voices of our time. This special edition 16-CD boxed set includes a photograph and spiritual journey section.

Healing Inspriation 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I found this Bible quite by accident in a tiny bookstore at the beginning of the most challenging period of my life. I was searching for healing and the thoughts within these pages truly added to the healing I experienced from God's word.

I recommend this Bible to all of my beautiful sisters everywhere.

The Best way for the WORD of GOD 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I had received this as a "gift" from my cousin. This had helped me to "heal" from a major crisis in my life. When I was healed and able to carry on, I forwarded to a co-worker that also had a major crisis in her life. She then passed it on and so on. When my cousin died, I tracked the original one that I had from my cousin so that I could have something that she cherised, now that she was "gone". I then proceeded to order 2 from amazon.com and have since shared them with people in my life that have a hurt or a need. You to will get what you need from the Word of God, when you order His Word.

God Bless

One Year Bible 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This bible has the best layout for reading through the bible in a year. You make a good start but lose interest in some of the old testament. You won't find that here. Every day you read NT and OT with a psalm and a proverd plus study notes or historical information. I have only one negative---I wish it was in hardback.

This is soooo good! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This Bible along with the MacArthur study Bible has added such immense joy to my life as I gain knowledge and wisdom through God's Word. Dr. John MacArthur is one of the best teachers/faithful shepherd that I know. Life is very brief, and we must find the best things as soon as we possibly can. These are all-encompassing resources that are good for newer Christians as well as those who are tenured. Even elders and pastors will find this invaluable. It might be all you need since it is the Word and the Word rightly divided, along with all relevant background information.
I would invest time and money into both the yearly Bible, which is intelligently organized and also the MacArthur study Bible.

Editorial Review:

Take a tour through the Bible with pastor-teacher John MacArthur - unleashing God's truth, one verse at a time.^TM

The MacArthur Daily Bible takes a portion of the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs for each day of the year, with daily comments that guide and inform you as you read through the Bible in a year. John MacArthur's insight maximizes the benefit of each day's reading. If a commitment to daily Bible reading never worked for you before, this is the answer. With John at your side, there'll be no such thing as a tough portion of Scripture.
