I'll also be picking this one up! I think it's another great possibility that might spur some great discussion:
Just last week I finished leading a reading and discussion of First and Second Samuel with some women in my neighborhood. Such wonderful human drama! (And a bit too much blood, some of the ladies thought.) For a recorded reading of the books, Alexander Scourby is insurpassable, in my opinion.

The story of David, and indeed the entire books of 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel are the most exciting section of the Bible by far. It's full of all the royal intrigue and big battles that would make a good TV show. Moving it to modern day seems like an unnecessary gimmick to me, although it probably lowers costs quite a bit.
I will probably do a featured reading of those books of the Bible at some point. They're worth going over, for entertainment value of the story if nothing else.
I see that that's an MP3 CD. Haven't seen those before. Can it be played on a standard CD player, or do you have to copy it onto an MP3 player?
And can it be copied onto and played from your Kindle??

You can play MP3 CDs on your DVD player through your television, on many newer CD players or ones specially marked for MP3 CDs, or through your computer. From computer you can download it to Kindle or an MP3 player with your computer's media player. The Mp3 CDs would be the least expensive way to go--quite a bargain, in fact--but you might have some trouble finding your place.
After wearing out two sets of old-fashioned audio cassettes I now have a GoBible. You can google that to see what is available. It's better than downloading to your MP3 player because you can quickly find book, chapter, and verse.
