Free sermons and illustration databases designed especially for Evangelical Christian workers |
The entire Kerux sermon and illustration database can take a long time to download, especially if you have a phone modem. (The SID mega-database is 160 megabytes in size, compressed.) I am once again offering the program on a CD. The CD will contain five files -- a readme.doc to give instructions on installation, my helpfile-based sermon archive, and both the SID and Access installation files (Access comes in two flavors, 97 and XP~2002 and both are full installations). You should only install one of these, depending on the software you already own. If you own Microsoft Access, install that version of the database. If you do not have Access, install the SID version. Both contain the same sermons and sermon illustrations. I have put together the Access version and Iain in New Zealand has compiled the SID version. Access is updated to April 2007 and SID is updated to April 2007.
I ask for $2 to cover the cost of the CD and the mailing expense. Since many commercial (and even Christian) companies offer "free" CDs and then charge $5.95 for shipping and handling, I believe my CD qualifies as "less than free." If you are a missionary serving overseas, or a national pastor in Asia, Africa or South America, I will consider sending you the CD for no cost (at bottom of page, see the list of countries so far). Contact me by email at dholwick@gmail.com to let me know your situation. I can do this because pastors in the United States have often sent a little more than $2. My goal is to break even, period. You can pass the CD around to anyone who wants it, as long as you do not charge for it. I will send one CD per address. After you receive and install the CD you can keep it updated from my supplement page; please do not order a new CD every few months!
You may also pay for the CD and give your mailing address at the same time by using PayPal.com. My account is dholwick@gmail.com If you decide to use PayPal please pay $2.50 because their fees bite about 50 cents out of each transaction.
I am not a businessman but a regular pastor and I don't have lots of extra time to put these together, so I would ask you to test the program before ordering the CD. Try installing the basic program and perhaps one supplement to make sure it is something you would use. If it passes your test, send $2.00 (US) to:

I will need your mailing address, printed clearly. If you send your email address I will send an email when the CD ships. I am also interested in your profession and denominational background but that is up to you. I do not share the information with anyone else.
