Unfortunately it's only available thru Amazon (gross, I know) but easily my favorite version of the Bible is the audiobook for God is Disappointed In You (check out the sample on that page if you're curious)
>God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each.
It's also available in print, but the audiobook is read by James Urbaniak and is fantastic.
BTW, Mark Russell is the author of the similarly irreverent novel God Is Disappointed in You
