Length6h 36m
About this audiobook
Where does the story begin? This audiobook takes you through the first five books of the Bible, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. Hear the Bible’s own words, followed by a clear and simple explanation: the creation of the world, Noah and the flood, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, the escape from Egypt and the Ten Commandments. Famous passages are read in full, and everything else is explained step by step. Where Jews and Christians read things differently, you will hear both. No prior knowledge needed. Some stories contain mature themes; parental guidance suggested for younger listeners.
