DEDICATION
First and foremost, I dedicate this work to Almighty God, the source of life, faith, wisdom, and strength. It is by His grace alone that this project was conceived, sustained, and brought to completion. May this Audio Bible serve to glorify His Holy Name and bring His Word to countless people for generations to come.
This Igbo Audio Bible is lovingly dedicated to the memory of my late mother, Mrs. Agnes Eke (née Oparaocha), whose joy in hearing God's Word in Igbo inspired this project, and to my late father, Mr. Michael Ogbonna Eke (Cathechist – Sacred Heart Parish, Enugu, Nigeria from 1970 – 1976).
I am also deeply grateful to my amiable wife, Mrs. Sandra Nkoli Nneoma Eke (née Iwuchukwu), for her encouragement, patience, and support throughout this journey.
This work further acknowledges the vision of the Igbo Catholic Bishops who championed the creation of a dedicated Igbo Bible text, and the many clergy, scholars, translators, reviewers, and church leaders whose commitment made the publication of the Igbo Bible possible.
Special recognition is extended to Rev. Fr. Prof. Christopher A. Ifenatụọra (of blessed memory) and his fellow translators and collaborators, as well as to the Bishops and Church Authorities who guided and approved the publication process.
Appreciation is also extended to the Society of St. Paul Nigeria for publishing the original Igbo Bible text upon which this audio project is derived.
My profound gratitude also goes to Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the Spiritual Director of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, Ngor Okpala, Imo State, Nigeria, for three separate spiritual messages he delivered in 2025, which encouraged me to accelerate and ultimately complete this Bible project in 2026.
Finally, this work is dedicated to millions of Igbo-speaking people around the world, especially the elderly, the visually impaired, those with limited literacy, and future generations who desire to hear God's Word in the language of their heart.
May the Word of God continue to enlighten hearts, bring comfort to souls, and guide many people through the Igbo language for generations yet unborn. Amen!
