Ann White and Courage for Life Make History With World’s First-Ever Complete Audio Bible Narrated Entirely By Women – New Living Translation |
Old and New Testaments Are Available For Free Via The Courage For Life App |
“Research shows many people are traumatized by the male voice, so we created an alternative to what is out there now, male-voiced audio Bibles. Now anyone can experience God’s Word without fear of triggering old traumas.”
Ann White Author, Speaker, Founder of Courage for Life
Ann White is the author of the bestselling self-help title Courage For Life (and companion study guide). She is an inspirational speaker and founder of the women’s ministry named for her first book, Courage For Life.
Compelled by the desire to serve the underserved and help those quietly suffering through trauma break free into a world of truth, hope and finding a full life through Jesus Christ, Ann White did her homework.
Bible Narrated by Women
“We enlisted 20 vocal actresses to embody the scriptures, and the project took over 2.5 years to complete. First we completed the New Testament so we could immediately serve the women who are a part of our prison ministry. Many of these women aren’t allowed reading glasses (security protocol) so they aren’t able to read the small-print Bibles most available to incarcerated women. The audio Bible was our solution,” says Ann.
“The voices are soothing, nurturing and incite peace. We have also found this audio Bible aids male prisoners, many of whom have experienced abuse and are triggered by male voices in other audio Bibles. Once we realized this was indeed beneficial, we made it available to counselors and the general public. The feedback we’ve received has been incredible. Women, men and children who have experienced trauma have all benefited positively from hearing the Bible ready by women. Because it’s readily available for free on our app, anyone in the world can access this option for experiencing God’s word.”
The Courage For Life Audio Bible — Old and New Testaments — is available on both Apple and Android devices.
