Offering Free Christian Resources of Hope & Encouragement

Our Mission

The 1687 Book Ministry exists to give hope and encouragement by providing free Christian resources within the United States.

Those We Serve

We feel called to support established ministries or organizations: service professions (members of the military, police officers, firefighters, and disaster relief efforts), prison ministries, healthcare facilities, children's programs, and at-risk populations such as homeless shelters, food banks and soup kitchens.

How We Started

The Book Ministry was established as a direct result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings and the founders, Woody and Patti Wood desired to reach the hurting after that devastating event. What started with the donation of a few boxes of Christian books, has by God's provision, grown exponentially and has touched millions of lives for the Kingdom.

"The 1687 Foundation Book Ministry is a vitally important resource for your

Total ForgivenessBY R.T. KENDALL

In this revised and updated version of the best-selling book, Kendall teaches how you too can experience this incredible freedom as he lovingly challenges you to root out the hidden and hardened places where resentments remain. As you read, you will be encouraged by the new testimonies of people whose lives were changed as they learned to forgive. One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness. Jesus forgives totally, and He expects no less from us.
