Outside / In Publishing is the independent publishing arm of Approved Religious LLC, dedicated to creating meaningful books, guides, journals, and inspirational materials for both incarcerated individuals and the communities that support them. Built on the belief that knowledge, faith, creativity, and personal growth should remain accessible to everyone, Outside / In Publishing serves as a bridge between the world outside and the lives of those living behind prison walls.
Focused on spiritual empowerment, education, self-reflection, and cultural expression, Outside / In Publishing develops content that speaks directly to overlooked and underserved voices. Its catalog includes prayer books, devotional materials, spiritual guides, wellness and meditation resources, independent literature, urban culture publications, photo books, and creative works designed to inspire hope, discipline, healing, and transformation.
The mission of Outside / In Publishing is to ensure that incarceration does not silence creativity, faith, or the pursuit of personal growth. By supporting authors, ministries, artists, and independent creators, the company works to provide positive, engaging, and facility-conscious publications that can reach readers both inside correctional institutions and throughout the broader community.
Outside / In Publishing believes that every page has the power to encourage reflection, strengthen identity, and remind readers that growth, wisdom, and spiritual connection can exist anywhere — both outside and in.
