A Talking Bible is a trade-marked digital listening device my son, Mark designed to be the exact kind of listening device non-reading people of an oral culture could easily use. I love its convenient size and features. Its buttons to select books and chapters have a single function, making it uncomplicated to use.

It facilitates scrolling forward and backward in any chapter. And it always starts at the place where one shuts down. It is very power efficient and is powered by three penlight batteries inside the unit or by an external power adaptor or an external solar panel. Its speaker has excellent fidelity and allows for as many as 30 to 40 people to listen as a group. Its external speaker jack enables a larger speaker to accommodate larger numbers. It is book shaped and has the appearance of a printed Bible. Its appearance lends credibility to the fact that it is indeed the same Word of God as is in a printed Bible in that language.

Yes, I am excited with its features, but I am even more excited because of what God is doing in people’s hearts as they hear God speaking to them in their very own language.

The following are just a few testimonies:

A Hindu village priest insisted that he, being spiritual leader in that village, should be the one to be responsible for their Talking Bible. He promised to call the people together to listen every day. The amazing thing that happened was that the priest himself began listening and became a believer along with almost the entire village. Three months later, when the local evangelist called to check up on them, the converted village priest pointed to the small village temple. There was a chain and a padlock on the door. The temple was closed. Instead, because of the power of God’s spoken Word, many people in that village were baptized and were worshipping together, praising God and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.
