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.
Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament: Collector's Edition Reviews:
A 'God~Sent' for a Blind Friend 
2009-10-09 - I bought this for a friend. She is a 91 year old near blind lady. Her hearing is also fading. She said that this is the only audio Bible that she has heard that does not have background music. This, coupled with the outstanding distinctive voice of Johnny Cash made this not only very clear and understandable, but very enjoyable as well. However, I did have to make some adjustments to the album so that she could navigate through the 16 disks. The album comes in 2 folders, each containing 8 disks. Each folder opens up into 4 panels, each containing 2 disks. That is, 1 at the top of each panel & 1 on the bottom of each panel. I placed a piece of tape on the upper part of the spine on the first album. This made it so (by feel) that she could easily identify the first part of the Bible from the second part of the Bible. Then I placed a piece of tape on the upper part of the first panel so that she could, again by feel, know where the first disk was. Then, I the put a piece of tape on the upper right hand corner of the face of the second album. This not only let her know that this was the second album, but also which way is up ^ and where to begin to open the album. Then, as I had done with the first album, I put a piece of tape on the upper part of the first panel so that she could, again by feel, know where the first disk (of the second album) was. She listened to the entire New Testament within the first two weeks. She has enjoyed it so much that she is now midway through listening to it a second time. Beyond all of that, her friends are delighted to hear how enthusiastically she speaks of it.
Son Loved It
2009-01-06 - I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 18 year old son. He is a senior in high school and wants to go into the ministry. He loved it.
Simply Perfect
2008-06-28 - JR Cash was one of the most fantastic men to ever live, and he gave the world the gift of his voice; through song, tv and now this: an audio recording of the NKJV bible.
I got this for Christmas and it really helps make reading the bible easier. Cash has the perfect voice for this, and it isn't all flashy, Johnny makes it fantastic without all that Hollywood crap.
I never thought I would own an audio bible until i saw this, and now I will never even have to think of getting another!
The Ultimate in The Word!
2008-04-13 - No one can read the Word like Johnny Cash! This is not Easy Listening Music, but it is easy listening! Thank you Johnny Cash!
Just what I wanted
2008-02-29 - This is a great audio Bible. No distractions, just the Word of God being read aloud. I find it odd to have a Bible that is covered with pictures of Johnny Cash - I got it because I wanted an audio Bible that was not dramatized and did not have music. All the other voices I previewed sounded really annoying to my ears. Johnny Cash had an excellent reading voice and is easy to listen to.
