Through the Library of Hope many lives have been transformed. Here are some examples of how Living in the Word is being used in prisons to draw its readers closer to God.
From the Library of Hope:
When I first received my first copy of Living in the Word, I knew right away that this book was a tool that the Lord was going to use mightily for his glory. The book is one of the best devotionals that I have seen in many years and has already touched the heart of thousands of prisoners nationwide. Thanks to Calvary Chapel Corona, the Library of Hope has been able to distribute thousands of copies to men, women and youth who are incarcerated across the nation and who so desperately need to hear of the Saviors love. Living in the word is truly a wonderful, devotional Journey into the heart of God! Thank you pastor Mike and Terri for making your book available to the men, women and youth who are crying out to God and for co-laboring with us to reach, the least of these..

Letters from Inmates
Dear Calvary Chapel Corona,
Hello my name is Derek, and for the last year I have been doing your devotional Living In the Word By Mike & Terri Rodriguez. This devotional journey through the New Testament has been encouraging, inspiring, and helping me to be a better Christian as I walk this life with Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. This year, 2006, is coming to an end and so is my completion of your devotional study. Can you send another copy for 2007 so I can continue to write in it and grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Derek, Inmate
Dear Pastor Mike & Terri,
How are you? I dont know if you remember me, but I was in Chino State Prison and I've been out for three months. Iam staying at the Hacienda Home. I'm writing you to find out how I may receive 4 copies of Living In the Word. If there is any way, I would greatly appreciate it. I truly want to say thank you for all you have done for me.
Your Brother in Christ, Ray, Former Inmate
Dear Mike & Terri,
I am currently incarcerated in Texas and have recently come to the Lord.. Could you please send me a copy of "Living in the Word"? May the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you both through out the year.
Your sister in Christ,
