When every day is at least one hour too short and life is too hectic to make a proper breakfast, taking a few minutes to focus on the Bible is a challenge for many of us. That’s why Bible Gateway has dozens of free audio Bibles<\/a> in over 10 different languages; and multiple, convenient ways of accessing these audio Bibles<\/strong>. This post will summarize the extent of the audio features that Bible Gateway offers to make it easier for you to navigate the available options and spend more time in the Word.<\/p>\n

First, you may have known that the Bible Gateway website and the Bible Gateway App<\/a>\u00a0\"Download<\/a>offer a number of popular Bible translations in different narration styles.<\/p>\n

To listen to these or any of the other available audio Bibles, go to our Audio Bibles page\u00a0on the Bible Gateway website<\/a><\/strong>. Once there, select your desired Bible language and version from the drop-down menu, along with the Bible book and chapter you’d like to start with. Then, just click the Play button directly beneath the drop-downs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you’ve downloaded the Bible Gateway App<\/a>, you can listen from there when you tap the Audio Bible section in the dashboard. And, from there, it’s the same simple process of selecting the translation, reader (or narration style, if there is more than one option under your chosen translation) and the Bible passage you’d like to listen to.<\/p>\n

Second, did you know you can also listen to audio devotionals<\/strong> from the Bible Gateway website?<\/p>\n

Audio devotionals make it easy to benefit from a worthwhile devotion while you\u2019re getting dressed in the morning, packing the kids off to school, or just brushing your teeth before bed. Run times range from five minutes to a half hour, so there\u2019s always a devotion to fit your schedule.<\/p>\n

To get started, go to the Audio Bibles page on Bible Gateway<\/a>. Scroll down to the Devotional Audio<\/strong> section, and click the one you want to listen to. The devotional will open in the Bible Gateway audio player (a separate window) and begin playing.<\/p>\n

There are currently five audio devotionals available. Choose between:<\/p>\n
