Content

Some messages were given to small audiences of ten people and others were given at major events numbering in the 1000's. Events include conferences, staff training sessions, evangelistic meetings and other sessions designed to reach people for Christ and help them grow in their faith.

These messages represent the activities of various divisions such as Athletes in Action, FamilyLife, the Campus Ministry, Josh McDowell Ministries and others. Speakers include both employees of the organization and guest speakers who were invited to address the audience on behalf of Campus Crusade. The focus of most messages is to a high school age and older audience.

Formats

We offer audio cassette tapes, Compact Disks (CD's), a CDROM disk in the MP3 format and an MP3 Internet download. Most are sold as single units although we do offer a discounted conference set that typically includes all of the main, plenary sessions from a conference. This set will be listed as an option next to the main sessions which are included on the pack.

We are committed to equipping you with the latest in digital audio products. A recent technology is MP3 CDROM disks where you can receive up to 30 hours of content on one disk. MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is a compression algorithm developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group. Very generally, the algorithm takes a digital audio file and reduces its size, while maintaining the quality of the recording.

In a standard audio file, there are several frequencies storing audio information. Many of these frequencies are redundant because the human ear cannot perceive them. The MP3 algorithm reduces the size of an audio file using a technique called perceptual audio, intelligently removing only the least audible frequencies. MP3 CDROM's cannot be played in a standard CD player but most computers will play them. If you need more help regarding MP3 format, go to our FAQ page.

Frequently Asked Questions

We keep a running list of most of the questions that people ask. If you question isn't answered below, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.

MP3 Download Help! We have prepared a special FAQ page for MP3 downloads. You may open the MP3 FAQ page in a separate window.
How do you ship? Small orders are shippeder via the US Postal Service. Larger orders are shipped via UPS.
Can I return an item? We will refund the cost of any items that are damaged or of poor quality; however, we do not accept returns once a tape or CD has been shipped.
Why do some products only offer one format option? We only list the formats currently available for that message.
Will you eventually have all messages in MP3 format? No, converting old messages from tape to MP3 is a very time consuming project. We will make CD's and MP3's of newer, more popular messages as they are recorded.
How do I download the MP3 file or stream my files? Click on the �Format� tab found at the top of this page.
Why do you charge $1 for MP3 downloads when you don�t actually send me anything? Even though we are not actually sending you a physical product when you purchase an MP3 talk, we do incur some fairly hefty charges for the storage of MP3 files on the server. The $1 charge helps to cover those costs.
