CLI has distributed thousands of free copies of Daily Light on the Prisoner’s Path to inmates all across America.
In some situations, especially in the federal system, men may have committed their crimes in another state…, so chances are very low that they can see their children…five to 10 states away, but Storybook offers a way to connect them by voice.

- How a prison ministry can go from superficial to supernatural
- Why America’s jails and prisons are so ready for Christian revival
