Renowned Catholic figures offer their endorsements, such as the Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke, Perfect of the Apostolic Signature of the Holy See, who states, "The Truth & Life Dramatized audio Bible is entirely faithful to the text of the Holy Scriptures. The manner in which the text is performed beautifully assists the listener in understanding the meaning of the divinely inspired words within their context. The background music and sound effects help the listener imagine the setting of each particular text of the Holy Bible." The Most Reverend Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia, also commends the app, saying, "We learn by hearing as well as reading. Those who desire to become true disciples of Jesus will want to learn from His words in every way. For anyone interested in beginning or continuing their adventure of faith, I highly recommend this faithful and powerful presentation of the Word of God."
