In my busy day, one way I connect with God is by listening to his Word while commuting. I have an old iPod which I stuff with sermons and an sections of an audio Bible. Trouble is, ripping my old CD audio Bible into MP3 format takes a lot of time. I thought of buying an MP3 edition but then I stumbled onto Faith Comes by Hearing's free audio Bible.
The mission of Faith Comes by Hearing is to reach the nations with the Word of God in audio format. They offer the Bible to people who are illiterate. These people may not be able to read God's Word, but they can definitely hear God's Word. So they offer the Bible in a variety of editions and languages. And it's free.
I downloaded their AudioBible Ambassador, selected the edition and language I wanted, and it went to work, downloading the entire New Testament to my hard drive. Their software can play the Bible or in my case, I stuffed the MP3 files into my iPod. Now I can soak myself in God's Word as I do something terribly mundane: riding the train home from work. Thank God for this.
If you do download their audio Bibles, consider donating to them so they can continue their work.
