Each of the sites I'm going to refer you to today offer free Christian audio books.

The first one Faith Comes by Hearing offers a free audio version of the bible. This audio version of the bible can either be streamed to you a chapter at a time or you can download the entire New Testament to listen at your convenience.

Next is Christian Audio.com which gives away a different premium audio book each month for free.

Another great resource is Free Christian Audio Books.com which offers many free Christian audio books every day.

There's also a good directory of Christian audio and video podcasts at God Cast 1000

You'll also find many more Christian resources on my Squidoo lens "Christian Living" I hope you'll stop by and have a look around soon and don't forget to leave me a comment in the guest book telling me what you think about it.

Okay that's it for now but I will be finding more free audio content and as I do I'll be listing it here for your enjoyment as well.

	Unlikely Angel Normal Price: $19.49 Offer Price: $6.92 In March 2005, Ashley Smith made headlines around the globe when she miraculously talked her way out of the hands of alleged courthouse killer Brian Nichols after he took her hostage for seven hours in her suburban Atlanta apartment. In this moving, inspirational account, the 27-year-old widowed mother of a six-year-old girl shares for the first time the little-known details of her traumatic ordeal, and expands on how her faith and the bestselling book The Purpose-Driven® Life helped her survive and bring the killer's murderous rampage to a peaceful end. Like her captor, Smith too, has faced darkness and despair. Yet even during the most desolate times of her life, she yearned for something better. Seeking a new life, she moved to Atlanta, got a job, enrolled in a medical assistant training program, and was beginning to find her way to becoming the kind of mom she wanted her little girl to have. Then Brian Nichols took her hostage. Just hours earlier, he’d allegedly shot to death a judge, a court reporter, a deputy, and a federal agent, and escaped in a stolen vehicle. Ashley had paid only passing attention to media coverage of the unfolding manhunt. Now she found herself face to face with Nichols, a desperate, heavily armed man with nothing left to lose. Unlikely Angel is Ashley’s gripping, powerful account of how this nightmare scenario developed into a remarkable connection between a man wanted for multiple murders and a single mother struggling to make a fresh beginning from her checkered and tragic past. Juxtaposing the minute-by-minute tale of her experience with the never-before-told tragedies and triumphs of her own life, Unlikely Angel is a story that will leave no reader untouched.

	Die Trying Normal Price: $24.99 Offer Price: $19.22 In a Chicago suburb, a dentist is met in his office parking lot by three men and ordered into the trunk of his Lexus. On a downtown sidewalk, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight by two men – practiced and confident – who stop them at gunpoint and hustle them into the same sedan. Then Reacher and the woman are switched into a second vehicle and hauled away, leaving the dentist bound and gagged inside his car with the woman's abandoned possessions, two gallons of gasoline. . . and a burning match. The FBI is desperate to rescue the woman, a Special Agent from the Chicago office, because the FBI always – always – takes care of its own, and because this woman is not just another agent. Reacher and the woman join forces, against seemingly hopeless odds, to outwit their captors and escape. But the FBI thinks Jack is one of the kidnappers – and when they close in, the Bureau snipers will be shooting to kill. Normal in-store physical product price: $24.95 » More Info

	Approval Addiction Normal Price: $20.75 Offer Price: $15.96 So many people today have an unhealthy need for affirmation and are unable to feel good about themselves without it. These "approval addicts" spend their time in a constant struggle with low self-esteem and emotional turmoil-which leads to major problems in their relationships with others. In her latest book, Joyce Meyer provides a path to release from the overwhelming need for acceptance from the outside world-an acceptance that is unfulfilling and leads only to disappointment. Through an analysis of what makes an "approval addict" and the ways to find release from specific character traits that foster addiction, Joyce provides a supportive voice and a personal understanding of the effect of insecurity in one's life. Her abiding message is that God provides all the affirmation anyone needs and through Him they can attain freedom. Normal in-store, physical product price $29.98 » More Info

	Crime Beat Normal Price: $20.75 Offer Price: $15.96 Before he became a novelist, Michael Connelly was a crime reporter, covering the detectives who worked the homicide beat, In these vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the listener past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends—and, of course, the killers—to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath. Connelly's firsthand observations would lend inspiration to his novels. His first book, The Black Echo , was drawn from a real-life bank heist, while Trunk Music was based on an unsolved case of a man found in the trunk of his Rolls-Royce. And the vital details of Connelly's best-known characters, both heroes and villains, would get their realism from the cops and killers he reported on: tram loner detective Harry Bosch to the manipulative serial killer the Poet. Crime Beat presents stories as fascinating as they are chilling, from the serial killer of young models who cuts a swath across the country to elude police, to the man who leads a bizarre double life on two coasts before his elaborate hoax breaks down. Here, too, we can see Connelly's razor-sharp eye for telling details: a worn-down earpiece on a cop's Eyeglasses, the revealing high school yearbook quotes of an alleged cold-blooded murderer, the checkered career of a bumbling gang of killers who publicly advertise their services. Stranger than fiction and every bit as gripping, these pieces show once again that Michael Connelly is not only a master of his craft but also one of the great American writers in any form. Crime Beat confirms why the Washington Post distinguishes Connelly as "the real thing, taking us in to the parts of the real America that most of our novelists never visit because they don't even know where, or what, they are. " Connelly is a former journalist and the author of the bestsellmg series of Harry Bosch novels, along with the bestselling novels The Lincoln Lawyer, Chasing the Dime, Void Moon, Blood Work, and The Poet. Connelly has won numerous awards for his journalism and novels, including an Edgar® Award . Len Cariou is a distinguished stage, television and film actor. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Sweeney Todd . He has read several books for Time Warner AudioBooks. Carl Franklin is an acclaimed actor and director whose films as a director include One False Move; Devil in a Blue Dress and Out of Time, both starring Denzel Washington ; and One True Thing , starring Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger . Nancy McKeon has been a series regular on The Division, Style and Substance, The Facts of Life, and Can't Hurry Love (which she also produced). Nancy read Street Dreams by Faye Kellerman for Time Warner Audiobooks Normal in-store, physical product price $31.98 » More Info

This free resource offers Christian audio books that have been produced using the very latest licensed voices from NeoSpeech and the "Text to Speech" software developed by NextUp Technologies TextAloud.  

I realize that digitally synthesized narration may not be for everyone but today the technology has advanced enough to meet the needs of many people, I think you'll be quite surprised as to how far this technology has come in the last year or so.

I think the quality of the narrations is especially acceptable for shorter and to the point audio books such as how to guides and so forth.

I did also notice that Free Christian Audio Books is also starting to list audio books that are narrated by a human. The first such audio book is Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. If you enjoy the books they offer you should check back open as they add new books quite often.

You can also request an audio book by sending an email to: request@freechristianaudiobooks.com
