Using the NIV audio Bible
Here’s another way you can use the NIV audio Bible, or – indeed – any audio Bible.
2. Use it for your family
Family devotions are difficult. Have you noticed that? Finding time, material, willingness – all these make time as a family around the word of God something of a battleground. Here’s a way to help. Why not listen to the Bible being read? At the risk of sounding quaint, it’s not unlike the family gathering around the wireless in olden times (!). We have the audio Bible ripped to our computer which means we can stream it into our kitchen where our dining table is.
Or what about suggesting to a youngster that we ditch notes for a bit and just listen to the Bible being read and ask questions afterwards? It’s a different way, but no less valid. And as we do this, the word of God slowly, slowly, seeps into our hearts and minds.
Try it and see.
