Audio Bible Ministry Fills Airwaves with Christmas Story

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) December 15, 2007 -- "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior is born."

This exciting announcement is part of "The Christmas Story," a free Audio Bible program produced by Faith Comes By Hearing, the world leader in Audio Bible recordings, and is available for free download from http://www.FaithComesByHearing.com or at the online iTunes store.

From the ministry Web site, visitors can listen immediately, subscribe to the podcast or download their copy of this Audio Bible story in either .MP3 or .wav format. The downloadable files can be burned onto compact discs, loaded onto MP3 players, shared on social network sites and rebroadcast by individuals and radio stations.*

Taken from the New Testament books Matthew and Luke, this realistic audio recording was produced using multiple character voices, musical backgrounds and sound effects, adding excitement and emotion to the Scriptures.

Faith Comes By Hearing produced this short program, which runs less than 12 minutes, to help people engage in the Bible this holiday season and hear the Christmas story in a dramatic, audio format.

"Families used to gather around the radio to listen to news, programs and other broadcasts," said Jon Wilke, organizational spokesperson. "We wanted to give families a new way to gather together, listen and share the stirring Bible stories that lead up to Jesus' birth," he said.

Founded in 1972 as a non-profit ministry, Faith Comes By Hearing records and uses Audio Bible programs to reach the world's poor and illiterate with God's Word.

Since more than 50 percent of the world's population cannot read, Faith Comes By Hearing helps those hear God's Word in their heart language.

Currently, Faith Comes By Hearing has New Testament recordings available in over 270 languages, representing nearly 4.3 billion people or roughly 70 percent of the world's population.
