I have had the privilege to listen to a new product from Thomas Nelson called The Word of Promise Next Generation New Testament. This is an audio recording of the New Testament done by a variety of young stars. It also includes introductions to each of the books done by Max Lucado and his daughter Jenna.
I have enjoyed listening to this recording of God’s Word. There is something different about hearing the words instead of reading to them that touches a place in my heart. I have heard these words spoken or read them myself many times throughout my life. To hear them spoken with a variety of characters and sound effects in the background really brought the stories to life for me. I enjoyed hearing the character of Jesus speak to the people and could just imagine Him in my mind as He must have been that day teaching the crowds. The introductions to each book were a nice addition too. These gave an overview of the book as well as a little history about the author. A bonus “behind the scenes” DVD was very informative. I liked learning about the actors chosen to play the characters and hear how this impacted their lives. My son and I enjoyed watching the section about the sound and design for the recordings.
I would recommend this recording for church libraries or personal libraries for those families with children and teenagers. I listened to parts of the recording with my son and he listened and recognized the stories he’s learned in Sunday School.

Orchids to you! You are a good reviewer. I am happy that you are a part of this. I have had trouble getting my second book delivered. After many failed attempts it was supposed to be delivered today but it hasn't arrived yet and the day is about over. They did send me a PDF of Same Kind of Different As Me and it is wonderful. I will be reviewing it soon. Good reading!
Super neat! Sounds like something I will be neededing in a little bit. Great review!
Many blessings-
Amanda
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I enjoyed reading your review, too. I think these little cyber-meetings of people with similar interests are one of the great pleasures of the internet.
Grace and peace,
