Christmas Gift: Free Music

timfthornton — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 04:26:10 +0000

Once again, along with Chris and the pleasant people at Everyday Joe’s coffeehouse in Fort Collins, CO, we present a little something nice. Click here and scroll down to the oceanic photo and click on it after reading some words from Chris. You’ll get a free digital album from us and some other fabulous artists, free for your enjoyment all year long. Unlike some presents, you don’t have to keep the fact that you’re re-gifting it on the DL–send the link for download as far and wide as the Christmas spirit inspires you to, and make a donation to Everyday Joe’s if you value good coffee as highly as we do.

Eight Days of Back to Basics: 6

A Thanksgiving Note

timfthornton — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:01:59 +0000

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe…” – Hebrews 12:25 NIV

To all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US and to all those friends abroad who just think a day to be thankful is a good idea: we hope it’s full of simple pleasures, people you love, and deep gratitude for the unshakable, unsteal-able, and unburn-able blessings of the kingdom.

Most notably, Back to Basics, the book Tim wrote with Doug Roberts and Ben Pasley in 2009, has been re-skinned by the fabulous Kyle Steed and is ready for order again!

3 More Months to Give Recklessly

timfthornton — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 16:18:07 +0000

Here’s a great quote we got about Give Recklessly from someone in New Zealand.

“I had a real blitz on giving away your album a few months back! It was a lovely experience of being generous with something that wasn’t mine, akin of the missional call to share God’s love lavishly, after all it isn’t ours, and we don’t have a short supply!”

Yes!

In case you haven’t heard, we are trying our darnedest to give our music away for free to anyone who does any kind of ministry. Give Recklessly will last only three more months (through the end of the year) so now is the time to please exploit us for the ministry people you know, so they’ll be able to pass it to their people and so on.

Gratis Reckless Downloads Are Instant

timfthornton — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:16:40 +0000

If you’re in ministry or you want to share Reckless with someone who is, the free downloads are now instant. Go to http://giverecklessly.com.
