The King James Version (KJV) Bible is considered the most sold, most studied, most chosen translation ever sold. It is not surprising then that it was in fact the 1st ever recorded in audio format, setting one more record for the KJV. In April, 2011, the KJV commemorated its 400th Anniversary. The Translation was in fact completed in the winter of 1610, but, wasn't released to go to the public until April of 1611. It would take the world virtually 350 years to perfect the actual audio version!
The First Breath of Life For The Word of Life
The KJV Audio Bible all of us identify now owes a lot of its appeal to a outstanding theatrical voice of Alexander Scourby. He has made the Christian audio Bible what it is today. Throughout his lifetime he recorded approximately five hundred audiobooks for the blind! The majority of them are still available through the Division for the Blind, of the Library of Congress for the use of the legally blind. Notwithstanding his various professional honors in the acting and stage world, Alexander referred to his recording of the books for the blind as, "...the one work that really means something to me."
He began recording the Bible in the early 1960's, at the time recording hardware was cumbersome and tedious. Nevertheless despite having what might be regarded 'antique' hardware by twenty-first century criteria, he prevailed with this extraordinary work. Thousands of time went into every recording, which Mr. Scourby repeated in many translations, not just the King James Version. Some other well-known voices have produced KJV Audio Bibles; and this includes are James Earl Jones, Stephen Johnston, Eric R. Martin, Max McLean, and Charlton Heston. Over and above these, a good many others are on the market, but calculating by just sales results, the most well-liked are still the KJV Audio Bible by either Alexander Scourby, or Stephen Johnston..

KJV Audio Bibles come in a large number of platforms, from particular books as an example, Scenic Wonders book of Proverbs, or the New Testament alone, all the way to the entire Bible Book-by-Book.

The whole of the Word of God can now be downloaded onto a single sim card, and played in any kind of iPod-type device. It can actually even be played in a number of car audio systems!
