Free Christian Sermons & Sermon CDs - We ship CD's worldwide totally free of any charge- not even for postage!

Brothers and sisters in Christ -

      At first, I was not sure that I could sustain this ministry of offering CDs very long, especially with constant postal rate increases. Now, seven years have passed, and well over 4,000 CD sets have been shipped to all parts of the world.  Our  thanks to those who are able to download the files and copy them to CDs for their friends. It helps extend the life of this offer. ISO files are also available on request. Write to admin@wordforlife.com or send a CD request form (below) and ask about them in the "Note" space at the bottom of the form. 

  To order: 

     CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT A SIMPLE WEB FORM  -  Loads a form and doesn't require email. 

       
Be sure to include all of the following:   

     Your Name, E-Mail address (if you have one), MAILING address including the country you live in. That is -very- important.   

     If you have any problems using the form, e-mail the same form  info to CD-REQUEST@WORDFORLIFE.COM  The form also has room to write a note to us if you wish.  

     Remember, I live in the United States, and I need you to show me how to address the package to you. Be sure to put what belongs on separate lines of your address on separate lines of the form. I will copy the address to the package exactly as YOU write it on the form. 

Please! Do not use abbreviations! Spell out all addresses in full including city, state, province, country, and so on. I'll use correct abbreviations in the actual mailing if I recognize your location. 

    
Finally, a reminder that there is no cost for the CD or postage or anything else. This is really a genuine, free offer. However some have asked how they could donate to the support of this ministry, email us for details. Many things are useful: Prayers, stamps, money for postage (PayPal is available) even something as simple as rolls of postal tape. You name it. You could even "sponsor" delivery of so many packages if you wanted, such as "Shipment of this package was made possible by a gift from the Mungomi family, South Africa" (not a real name).

Frequently Asked Questions About Our CD Sets: 

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET HERE??!!??

     It depends on where you live. I try to ship them out every other Monday. To the United States, Canada, about 4-7 business days after shipment. Most of South Africa, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Malaysia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Nigeria - about two weeks just to give you an idea.

What should I watch for in the mail?

     A square yellow or white package the size of a CD made of poster board containing 2 CDs. We must be good shepherds of donated money and make our own mailers. We make our own simple, but sturdy, mailers. (If you can improve on the design, please write to us!)

What will I get?

A set of two CD's with nearly all of our sermons in MP3 format, ready to play using any computer or MP3 player, as well as a variety of electronic Bibles and related programs we've found as space allows. So far, we usually include the New Testament in MP3, E-Sword, PC Study Bible, Bible Pro, Bible Seeker, Theopholos, and the Old/New Testament in standard .PDF format among others. The exact CD contents will vary sometimes due to space needs. We hope to launch a DVD version in mid-2010, so as not to have to worry about space any more. At least, for a while.. :-)

Is there a limit on how many can I order?

     You may order what you need. Usually one or two sets, but if you are writing for 20 of your friends, that's fine too. One person did just that - included the addresses of over 20 friends - and that's fine with us. If they live near you as in his case, we can ship them to you and have you pass them out to save us money on shipping. But if that is not possible or inconvenient, just send us their addresses and we will ship them individually.  

What will the CD set cost? Who pays for mailing the CDs, anyway?

     Nothing - ever. When we come to the point we'd have to charge for them, we'll withdraw the offer. I paid for the costs and used donated money for some years, but since I am no longer able to do so, the blank CD and mailing costs are now an outreach ministry of the North Bend, Oregon USA Church of Christ, where most of the sermons were recorded. Our longest term and most selfless supporter of the ministry outside of "our" local church is Clara Mae Waters, who lives in the state of Florida, USA. 

Can I make a copy for my friend? Record them on tape, Etc?

     Yes! Please do!  Make as many as you can! Use them in church, Bible studies, Christian schools, Etc.. (For legal purposes: The sermon and devotional content is (C) Copyright 1993-2010 by Mark R. Magill as agent for the respective authors of our original content. Your are hereby permitted to distribute the CD's contents in whole or part in any form you like but only in not-for-profit situations that glorify God. You may not charge a "duplication fee" or "media fee" in excess of what it cost you to produce and deliver the copy. If it cost you about a dollar or so, a dollar or two is all you can charge. There is no need to quibble over pennies) You're can also offer them on your website for download. After doing so, please email us so we can add your site to our list of links.

What about Privacy? Are you going to give my address or e-mail to anyone?

     Short Answer: NO! Only those involved in filling your request have the information. We absolutely will not  give the information to anyone else unless required to by law, and in the last 7 years that has never happened.  

I want to help you with this, is there anything I can do?

     Pray for the success of this ministry. Also, be patient waiting for your CD to arrive But not too patient! Hold me accountable for it - Satan would love to make us lazy and slow in sending out these powerful words, so write if you've waited 4 weeks no matter where you live. When it arrives, make a copy or two (or 100,000,000) and give them away to someone if you can.

(And my daughter, Susan M. Magill)

       This page is dedicated to the memory of my parents, Joseph Henry Magill and Jo Ann (Denniston) Magill, who gave me my life and showed me by their example how to live it properly. Mom was the perfectly dedicated wife, and Dad the finest definition of a loving and dedicated husband I have ever known. 

       I also give special thanks to my mother and father-in-law, Burnice Oscar Cowan and Anona Mae (Johnson) Cowan. They were very special people which I had known since childhood, and it was both a privilege and an honor to join their family by marrying their daughter. They were some of the finest people I have ever known, and further reinforced the example my parents had shown me of a loving and dedicated married couple.

Rest in peace, all of you..

Mark R. Magill
