This month’s free audiobook download is another incredible offer! Crazy Love, by Francis Chan, has sold over 200,000 copies in print during the last year and has been at the top of many people’s recommended reading lists. Now, thanks to the generosity of Oasis Audio, you can download this audiobook from christianaudio FREE for the month of July. Crazy Love is a strong challenge to American Christianity, a call to be like Jesus and to ‘be Jesus’ to the least of those around us. It’s also a heartfelt wish to be authentic and true in our relationship with Him.

Crazy Love is warmly narrated by Francis Chan himself, pastor of Cornerstone Community Church, in Simi Valley, CA.

In addition to this month’s free download, we are extending a special offer for those that would like to pre-order the download of Francis Chan’s next book, due in September.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, many families owned two books: the Bible and Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. This classic book arose during the Protestant Reformation and profoundly influenced many in the English Church. Beginning with Stephen and the earliest church martyrs and continuing through the French Revolution, Foxes details the sufferings of those who would courageously stand for Christ. Nadia May does a wonderful job narrating and her empathetic tone helps with the difficult subject matter.

“When one recollects that until the appearance of the the common people had almost no other reading matter except the Bible and Foxes Book of Martyrs, we can understand the deep impression that this book produced.” – James Miller Dodds, English Prose

It was with great sadness that we received the news that Christian History and Biography Magazine was ending the print version of their magazine, announced late last year. Their outstanding publication offered well-researched and thoughtfully written articles covering a wide range of history and people.

Before they ceased publishing the magazine, Christianity Today International and christianaudio partnered together to record a few audio versions of some of the most popular of the 100 magazines published during the last 25 years. The magazines regarding Luther, The 100 Most Important Events in History, and How We Got Our Bible are just a few of the excellent titles we recorded and continue offering christianaudio customers the chance to listen to.

These magazines are wonderfully narrated and offer a great introduction to some of the most important events and people in Christian History. And, for the rest of April, we are offering all of them for the special low price of $4.98! Hurry, because this savings of nearly 70% expires on April 30, 2009 (midnight PST).

The free audiobook download for April, So Beautiful: God’s Divine Design for Life and the Church is something of a first for christianaudio. The audiobook version is actually being released before the print book is even available! This brand new book from author and theologian Len Sweet (The Gospel According to Starbucks) is a fresh look at God’s church.

Using the poignant life of John Newton as a touchstone, Sweet calls for the re-union of these three essential, complementary strands of the Christian life. Far from a novel idea, Sweet shows how this structure is God’s original intent and shares the simply beautiful design for His church.

Watch the promotional video for So Beautiful here.

Len Sweet is Currently the E. Stanley Jones Professor of Evangelism at Drew University in Madison, NJ and a Visiting Distinguished Professor at George Fox University in Portland, Oregon. He was recognized as one of the 50 Most Influential Christians in America by The Church Report.
