I often receive emails from Learn Out Loud's free download offers. Today I received the download for the entire KJV Bible. I think that is excellent. I love to listen to books on tape/cd. Unfortunately I would have to buy it to listen to it because here in this small town our library's audio selection is fairly limited and mostly to fiction books that I am not interested in listening/reading.
I downloaded the book of Matthew just now; it took less than 5 minutes on my internet connection. My dd is reading Matthew for Bible in school so this may be helpful to her, and I. Here is the link to all the book downloads. If it does not work, click on Learn Out Loud to get to the free audio books for download.

King James and it's Old English is very hard to read and understand. Is that part of the lessons, to read Old English? Just curious...
ReplyDeleteWe use the KJV for church and for school. I feel that if you can get the hang of KJV then it is easier to be able to understand other older writings, as well as Shakespeare, which we are learning and studying also. By that I mean that if you can wrap your head around the way they form their sentences and the words you use, then it will be beneficial in learning other texts (any subject). Some of the literary works we will be reading/studying are written in the Old English. But only some :)
ReplyDeleteI personally have always liked how KJV was written but had a hard time being able to understand it because I didn't use it. Now, we all have no trouble....or if we do, it's not that difficult to figure out what they are trying to say.
Ah, very good!
