The Word Within.

Bringing Christ to the Imprisoned.

Christian Library International distributes Christian books and Bibles to US prisons

The mission of CLI is to bring Christ to the imprisoned. Since its founding in 1996, CLI has helped thousands of incarcerated men and women find new hope in the healing powers of Christ. With a small Christian staff and a team of devoted volunteers, CLI maintains a low overhead, ensuring that the bulk of our resources go directly to the prisons we support. Our success depends on the prayers and generosity of individual donors as well as local churches, foundations and Christian publishers.

Inmate Comments - January 2011

“I just read the book Where is God When it Hurts? by Philip Yancey. The chaplain at the jail we (my 62-year-old Mom and I) are in lent it to us to read. We have a lot of pain and suffering. This book helped both of us read about others that were also in pain and how they dealt with it. The book also explains the connection with Jesus and his suffering and how we can embrace pain, be thankful for it, and use it as strength. I am determined to do that. Thank you for sharing this book.” Inmates Joanne and Julie, Nassau County Jail, East Meadow, NY

“I’m very thankful for your love and kindness and for sending the Bible studies you send. They are not only a joy but truly a blessing in helping people like myself find God and make leaders for him out of us. You help in equipping us so that we may help others. Thank you and thank Jesus!” Inmate James, Georgia Diagnostic & Classification Prison, Jackson, GA

“I want to personally thank you all with tear-filled eyes of extreme joy for helping establish my working relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank all of you so much. God bless all of you, your families, and your ministry. You all have a huge heart for God, which in no small way is a very real piece of Heaven right here on earth even now. The Lord wants me to tell you, ‘Well done all of you, my good and faithful servants.’” Inmate Thomas, Dallas County Jail, Dallas, TX

“Thank you all for your faithfulness! I have truly enjoyed this study. I have all the lessons in a large envelope so that, as the Spirit guides me, I can bring them out and study them.” Inmate John, Brown Creek Correctional Institute, Polkton, NC
