What version do you like the best? My 'daily reader' is an ESV, so I'm tempted to get that, but I'm not that crazy about the only recorded reader of it, Max McClean.
I'm on Audible right now and there's the unabridged NT read by Johnny Cash! Isn't that cool? It's the NKJV which is fine, though I'd prefer the ESV.
Do you have recommendations for what your favorite version is? Thanks!

As soon as I saw this, the first audio Bible I thought of was the Johnny Cash one.
I haven't heard it, but it must sound amazing.

The problem with switching to a reader you prefer is that you're also switching content. The ESV is first rate, so if I were you, I'd insist on that.
I did find one at Amazon by Stephen Johnson. It has a 5-star review, but there's only one revierw. I don't know this gentleman, so I can't comment on his style. It's worth a few dollars to get the right version. [It says there are only 4 left in stock.]
There's Marquis Laughlin, who sounds like a pretty good reader, from the snippet I tried. Also at Amazon [3 left in stock].
Christianbook.com usually has some things at better prices than elsewhere. They have Johnson and Laughlin (linked below).
Biblegateway says they have the Laughlin ESV audio, but I wasn't able to make mine work. Maybe it's me. Try it for free.

The first of the year I went to the library and got the Bible on DVD and listened to it for days, especially at night while sleeping. I received a healing miracle that month, and I know that listening to the Bible helped me receive it. I think it was the King James version. God Bless You, hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Have you tried the Zondervan NIV version on CD? There is also the "Message" series for a more modern version, language wise.
Good luck

I have many versions, dramatized and undramatized, NIV, KJV...but I have to say that I enjoy The Message Bible on CD the best.

I don't really qualify, but I much prefer to actually read it -- there's the footnotes, the cross-references, the context you can see all around instead of holding the scan button down or whatever . . .
Have a great night!

KJV.
Alexander Sourby is excellent, or Charlton Heston.
There is such poetic beauty in 16 Century English.
