Books can go where people can’t
In places where following Jesus can lead to rejection, arrest or attack, meeting to pray, read the Bible or share the gospel is not always safe.
Help Christian writers and publishers produce the books that serve churches under pressure, encourage Christians facing persecution to stand firm in their faith and love their communities, and provide ways to share the good news of Jesus.
Your gift equips local Christian writers to create the books that go where people can’t.
Christians are encouraged
Where accessing content online can put Christians at risk, a printed book can be read without an internet connection or a digital record. When support is hard to come by, a book can be read and shared.
Real questions and issues are addressed
Local Christian writers understand the questions people in their communities are asking, the pressures they face and the fears they experience. Their insights help strengthen and build the Church.
The Church is strengthened
Books minister to readers beyond the present. Pastors may come and go, missionaries unable to stay, but locally written books can reach readers for Christ and grow God’s kingdom.
