4.0

I should start with the acknowledgement that I have a hard time being immersed & fully paying attention to audiobooks, regardless of their quality or personal interest.

This audio was recorded verse by verse, in a slightly dramatized manner, so that the passages are not simply recited in monotony. The background sounds, such as a busy marketplace, the sounds of footsteps & doors, cups on a table, animal noises, were all a wonderful enhancement to the scripture reading. Added dramatic music pulls together the audio in a way that is impactful yet not distracting to the reading itself.

I found myself both immersed in the history of these passages, and also having to backtrack because of my wandering thoughts. Likely my own shortcomings, and not the audiobook. Overall this audio was a good way to immerse myself in the scriptures & I’m thankful for the blessing of being able to work with my hands and listen to the Bible at the same time.
