Making vital connections with a Children’s audio Bible
audio bible study, audio bible on cd, mp3 audio bible
Audio Bibles offer an easy method for spending time with God’s Word in the busiest of schedules. One of the benefits of the audio Bible is that it is available on CD and other digital formats so that it can be played back in a variety of different ways: from your home computer, or a personal CD player or DVD player. With new Internet and digital aural technologies, the audio Bible is now available to the public online in mp3 format. Your children can benefit from all of the digital expertise brought to bear on the Word of God and sharing it with a multitude of people who, for many reasons, are not readers. Very young children, for example, are not at a stage in their development where they are able to read, and can thus benefit from being introduced to the Bible through listening to the children’s Bible in an audio format.
Children learn in predominantly one of three different ways: auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Auditory learners learn by hearing new information, while visual learners gain new knowledge by seeing it, and kinesthetic learners are hands-on types who learn by doing. If your child happens to favor the auditory learning style, then sharing the Bible with them in an audio format might be just what they need to make a vital connection to the wisdom found in God’s Word.
Audio children’s bibles share the best of the Bible’s stories from both the Old and New Testaments in a dramatized version, which includes spoken character voices, music and even sound effects, to bring the Bible to life for your child. It also utilizes a child-friendly version of the Bible, which stays true to the meaning of the Bible but utilizes language that a child can understand easily. Another added attraction to audio children’s Bible stories on CD or mp3 is that they also often include songs which are age-appropriate for children and fun to sing.
Podcasts of children’s Bible stories are also beginning to be available on line. What this means is that you can purchase a subscription to the online service, and then have access to a list of all the different podcast episodes available, so you can pick and choose the ones you would like to listen to. They also come in a regularly downloaded time schedule, so that you can add them to your mp3 player for your child to listen to when he or she is on the go. Mp3 digital audio files compress the entire New Testament into a single CD, so there are no bulky books to cart around or find storage space for. The digital audio quality is the highest available, and provides a rich and clear sound of the Bible stories being shared.
Audio bibles for Children were not available when Susan Slobac was growing up. Susan was given the audio Bible on CD as present upon the birth of her first child and has since made it a habit to foster an interest in the Bible through audio Bible study programs offered online. Her children enjoy the mp3 audio Bible, and still look forward to listening nightly to the audio Bible on CD.
