IN THE FALL OF 2018, FRANCIS PARTNERED WITH DAVID C. COOK TO RELEASE A BOOK CALLED LETTERS TO THE CHURCH. LETTERS TO THE CHURCH IS THE MESSAGE FRANCIS CHAN FELT GOD WANTED HIM TO SHARE ABOUT GOD'S DESIRE FOR WHAT THE CHURCH SHOULD BE LIKE BASED ON SCRIPTURE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, GOD GAVE ANOTHER MESSAGE TO FRANCIS ABOUT HIS DESIRE TO SEE ALL BELIEVERS UNITED, REGARDLESS OF DENOMIMATION OR BACKGROUND. THIS MESSAGE BECAME THE BOOK UNTIL UNITY, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN 2021. BOTH BOOKS RECEIVED MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND ARE CURRENTLY BEING DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE IN NUMEROUS LANGUAGES.
