Brief thoughts on the NKJV translation: This translation is in my top five. I do love it. I do use it. I do keep coming back to it.
I listened to the NKJV audio bible narrated by Tinasha LaRay on YouVersion over many months--January through July essentially. I was following a specific Bible reading plan: "Reading God's Story" by George Guthrie, I believe. It is a chronological reading plan. YouVersion currently has two narrators for the NKJV.
This was my first time to listen to the Bible all the way through using an audio Bible. I found the narration to be good, pleasant, uplifting for the most part. It was clear and easy to understand. While the words were annunciated, they did not seem overly emphasized or unnaturally emphasized. The narration was smooth and had a flow to it.
I listened for the most part while doing more 'mundane' (but necessary) tasks: prepping meals, cooking, cleaning, checking emails, etc. This was never my 'main' way to feed--to feast--on the Word of God. I think I'll always prefer a print Bible for that. However, this was a way to absorb the Word in bits and pieces as I went about my daily life. As such because it never had my absolute sole attention, I do feel I probably missed bits and pieces that if this was my only 'reading' of the Bible I would have regrets about my split attention.
