Christian books act like little missionaries going into dark and dangerous places. We receive letters each week attesting to changed lives from reading, hearing or viewing Christian materials. Plus the materials can be used by many different people and really impact millions of lives.
Many believers have Christian resources on their shelves that are not being used. Donate those books and materials to CLI to spread the Gospel and encourage inmate believers in their faith. We are proud to recycle good materials and color ourselves “Green!”
We accept all types of Christian books including, biographies, fiction, non-fiction, bible studies and theological texts. They may be hardcover or soft cover but must be bound for placement on a shelf. We are unable to use spiral or notebook ringed materials.
While CLI pays for all outbound shipping to the prisons, we can not pay for inbound shipping. If you, your church, or organization can enclose a check of $15 per box, it will greatly help us with our extensive shipping costs.
Spanish Bible Options:
Did you know one out of every four federal inmate is Hispanic? Spanish Bibles are always in great demand. Here are several links to consider:
CLI also sends youth books ages 7-17 into the detention centers. CLI currently has a great need for quality materials for these age groups. We especially need modern Christian materials like missionary biographies that will catch their attention and draw them to Christ.
