ChristianBooks.ie supplies books for prisoners in collaboration with Release Prison Partnership as part of the Books behind bars ministry.  Release ministers within the Irish Prison Service.  They know that Jesus Christ loves all those who are imprisoned.  He desires a relationship with every prisoner.  So Release volunteers aim to make disciples behind bars.  They run a series of programmes within prisons, including Alpha, Addiction Recovery, Communication, and Parenting.  In addition, they also visit, mentor, support and encourage many individual prisoners every week.

But prisoners also become disciples through reading Christian books.  You can bless a prisoner by purchasing one or more books online here.  I will then deliver your order to Release to gift to individual prisoners.  I compiled, along with Release, the list of  particularly suitable books below.  But we encourage any of our books which will help a prisoner to grow in faith and change their life.  All you need to do is select Books behind bars at Checkout.  At that point, if you wish, you can also enter a personal note of encouragement.  We will deliver this with your order, along with your first name.  We keep other personal details strictly confidential.   Because of security requirements, we regret that Books behind bars orders cannot be gift wrapped.  Nor can we accept second hand books.
If you are not sure which books to choose, you can purchase unidentified books up to any value of your choice.  Then Release will guide me as to which books to supply on your behalf.

I also continue to supply Christian books to prison libraries.  I do this in partnership with Release and with Speaking Volumes.  You can read about this exciting project here.
