Earlier this year it was suggested by our board members that we allow users, both impaired and non-impaired, the ability to download the Audio Bible to their computers.

Then it began--many hours of looking for and testing different solutions.

We were happy with what we had initially launched, even though “behind the scenes” it was rather painful.

Never in a million years would we have imagined what was about to happen. We were flooded with hundreds of downloads from all over the world in our first few days. We quickly learned that the solution we thought we had was not going to work. The downloads began to fail because there were just too many people on the site at the same time!

We are now three months into our new download site and we are happy to say everything is running smoothly.

Let me tell you about some of the very cool features you’ll find on our new Audio Bible Download site.

Each user is now able to create their very own unique username and password.

Users who are qualified with us as blind or print-handicapped can be given access to download all materials--even those copyrighted such as the NKJV and our Daisy NKJV. All other users are restricted to “open source” materials like the KJV. This keeps us in compliance with the copyright holders.

We’ve also included a Bible Messages area. There you will find messages from friends of the ministry like John MacArthur.

The Audio Bibles available for download are the same recordings we send in the mailed cassette and MP3 CD versions.

The downloadable version gives a user immediate access rather than waiting weeks for a copy to arrive in the mail. The downloadable version is also formated and ready for the user to load onto any MP3 player of their choice. The download option also allows us to reach MANY more individuals all over the globe.

So if you have web access and a decent internet connection, come and visit us or tell others about us. We would love to hear from you - let us know what you think.
