How many extra Bibles do you have in your home? Can you imagine not owning a Bible at all?  There are thousands of believers and even pastors around the world who do not own a Bible and are desperate for one. That's where Christian Resources International comes in. CRI is the link between extra Bibles and believers who need them. Through their Operation Bare Your Bookshelf, you can send Bibles, study materials and tracts directly to someone who has requested them. Here's how it works:

1.   People all over the world write to CRI to request Bibles.
2.   You can request a Bare Your Bookshelf kit.
3.   CRI connects you with someone requesting a Bible.  They send you a packet containing a pre-printed mailing label, pre-printed customs form, a letter to include with your Bibles, along with detailed instructions on how to assemble and ship your package and (usually) the request letter sent by your recipient.
4.   Using a flat rate envelope from the USPS, you can assemble and ship your package of Bibles and study materials. Up to 4 lbs of books ships anywhere in the world for just $16.95!

It's that easy!
