A Native American made the following observation about Daylight Saving Time, "it is like cutting the top off a blanket and sewing it to the bottom in the false belief it makes the blanket longer." Almost everyone is guilty of subscribing to this notion in these fast-paced times we live in today, and our spiritual well being suffers because there is not even time to sit down and read the Scriptures. The audio bible is an ideal way to bring God’s Word back into your life.

Although there may not be time to sit down and read The Bible, there are numerous ways to fit the spoken Word into your busy life and the spiritual benefits are incalculable. If you regularly use a home or work computer you can listen to Bible passages during your lunch break or when you get home. What better way to take the stress out of driving than to listen to the inspirational reading of The Bible while on the way to or from work? Many who have made it a daily routine to reconnect with God have found it something to look forward to for a brief escape from the rest of the hectic day. Once you make it a daily routine, you will find it difficult to do without the spiritual benefits.

There are several formats of the Bible available to fit your needs and lifestyle, such as the CD, MP3 and even DVD’s. Audio dramatizations of the Bible have also risen in popularity along with dramatic recordings of books and novels. The importance of The Word is accomplished through inflections in the voice, emotions and sound effects, bringing a level of inspiration to the listener.

The audio Bible is just the answer for those who are burdened with time constraints. We owe it to ourselves to allow time for reflection, meditation and prayer through Bible study. By choosing a passage to listen to that is of interest, or relevant to you, the spiritual benefits will help you to cope with the present circumstances in your life. You can also listen to a particular favorite or choose a chapter or book that you have an interest in reviewing. Many Bible study groups are now using this new technology to help their group increase the benefits of learning the scriptures.

The audio Bible is a perfect way to incorporate God’s Word into our time challenged lives so that we can benefit from the spiritual nurturing that is so necessary in these stressful times.
