Adding two MP3 Audio Bibles to the Download site today ... Arabic NT & Czech NT.

While at NFB 2010 in Dallas, we got to do something we've wanted to do for a very long time. We got to meet with Mike Calvo, founder and CEO of Serotek Corp. The part that makes it even better? We recorded it just for you!

Some of you may recall a story we did about Mike back in July of 2009. Just in-case you missed it, here it is: http://audiobiblestories.blogspot.com/2009/06/june-2009-mike.html


We hope you enjoy

“Oh Really? You mean it’s free? This is wonderful!” was a common response of blind people at our booth at the National Federation for the Blind conference in Dallas after hearing we were offering them a free Audio Bible. As her hands moved back and forth across the table touching each item to “see” what was there, a young blind lady asked, “Is this the booth that has the Audio Bibles?” When we said it was, she literally jumped up and down with excitement. We often heard from the elderly attendees, “This is wonderful, because I can no longer read my Bible.” When most think of blind people, they usually think of the elderly. While it is true with the increasing cases of macular degeneration and diabetes among the elderly, many do lose their sight, but blindness is no respecter of age. My heart was touched as I observed many mothers and fathers with their blind children. I was delighted that we were there to offer them the Children’s Bible, which we recorded in our own studios. We also had the opportunity to talk with many blind professionals who partner with us in referring clients for the Audio Bible.

It was definitely a different experience as a sighted person being in the minority among thousands of blind people who, with their white canes and guide dogs, navigated freely throughout the hotel and convention center. It was a gratifying experience to be able to offer the them free Audio Bibles.
