Through a collaboration of nearly 120 biblical scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and artists, The Voice recaptures the passion, grit, humor, and beauty that is often lost in the translation process.

    The Voice is an amazing translation of the Scriptures. Over 120 Godly men and women from many different academic expertise, have assembled a modern work that draws readers closer to the Word. Proverbs chapter 3 reminds us to keep the Word close to our hearts. The Voice helps us to see the story of Gods love for us. As the old hymn proclaims, "tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word, yes it is the sweetest that will ever be heard".

    I wish you could improve on searching functionality. I have fallen in love with The Voice Bible but jumping from chapter to chapter and looking for a verse in a book is too time consuming.
