Blinding Light
This book was written for people who are considering a vocational call to missionary service. The "blinding light" refers to Paul's experience on the Damascus road where Christ met him and called him into service.
Burning Splendor
This short book is a theology of poverty, our way of understanding what Scripture says about our responsibility to the widow, orphan, and refugee. It looks at the revelation of God's heart for the poor through the eyes of Moses, the Prophets, and Christ.
Ascend: 31 Days of Prayer
All Christians have a duty to pray. At CRI, we commit to pray daily as an organization. 31 Days is a book of prayers we use for doing so. It is organized according to the seven forms by which people in the Scriptures raise their hearts to God.
New Release: The Lord’s Prayer
The Lord's Prayer covers the most known prayer of Jesus through the lens of other prayers found in the Bible. When Jesus taught us to pray, what kinds of prayer did He include? From invocation to benediction, His prayer captures the heart of prayer, bringing us closer to the Father as we emulate Christ's example.
