Proof-listeners are a vital part of every New Testament recording project. They read along as we record to make sure that the reader says exactly what is in the printed Bible, and that the reader says it correctly or there aren't any mistakes in the printed text. Proof-listeners find something in every New Testament recording project. So far, they've found a missing word and even a switch in an apostle's name.

Tedious? Many do not think so.

"This is a great job, you know," one proof-listener said after a two-hour session of Revelation. "It fills you every time. You read and you read, and it fills you." Thank God for proof-listeners, and thank God that his word has impact, even through a task like this.
