About this audiobook
Would you believe it took nearly 500 years to translate the ESV (English Standard Version) Bible? That's because the ESV builds on the great translations of the past - including William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526 and the King James Version (KJV) of 1611. But the ESV Bible also builds on the best Christian scholarship of the last 100 years.
The result is a fresh and compelling Bible translation, with a timeless quality, that's trustworthy and true. That's why the ESV "sounds like" the Bible - with the kind of beauty, clarity, and dignity that we love to hear and read. That's also why the ESV retains the Bible's rich imagery and theological words - words like grace and justification and salvation - that are essential to our faith.
The result is a Bible that conveys the timeless quality of God's Word and that remains trustworthy and true to the original words breathed out by God. As Moses wrote more than 3,000 years ago, the words of God are "your very life, and by this word you shall live." (Deuteronomy 32:47).

Charging money to hear the word of God. This is very very very important isnt it? For everyone including the poor to hear the word of God. Its like, you would subject someone to Hell. Because while on Earth, you wanted money. You didnt care about human. Please make this app free for everybody. We are all human, remember. It might not seem like it because each day, i know we go through a lot of rage, we are so used to it.. And materialistic and consuming of things in Gods creation;delusion

The voice is nice and smooth. He speaks clearly. What frustrates me is that the contents are only divided by book. You cannot go to a specific chapter. This is a problem when I want to listen to 1-2 chapters a day and I have to find my place manually instead of having a chapter division in the contents or at least a bookmark of some sort. And now, you can't refund audiobooks so I can't uninstall it for a full refund. I would not have purchased it if I had known there are no chapter divisions. Ive seen free audio ESV Bibles that have the divisions, but they also have ads you cannot avoid. For $16.99 for this audiobook (Bible), is there not a way to also incorporate this?
