This month I was able to listen to The Gospels Come To Life (2003). This eight-disc production features Michael W. Smith reading all four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The narration is LOVELY. The best narration I've EVER heard in an audio bible. (I really, really have strong opinions on narrators.) The narration is natural and pleasant. There is light piano accompaniment on some of it, but it's not a distraction in the least. I would have loved it if Thomas Nelson had continued this narration project with the rest of the New Testament. They didn't. So the only audio bible I can happily listen to is the gospels.

John MacArthur sermons

Twin Truths: God's Sovereignty and Man's Responsibility (John 3:11-21)
The Blueprint for Being Born Again (John 3:3)
Simply Believe (John 3:11-14)
Belief, Judgment, and Eternal Life (John 3:15-21)
