Happy New Year

Today marks 36 years since this shop first opened its doors! We are thankful that the Lord has seen fit to continue this small business as a Christian witness both in our local town and worldwide. We step out into 2019 praying that we will be given the strength and wisdom to carry on this faithful witness and that the Lord would bless it to the spiritual profit of many.

New Year!

It's January! We had a very busy run up to Christmas, for which we are thankful. We very much appreciate the loyalty and support we receive for our small independent shop. Suddenly we have arrived in January and are needing to do a long awaited sort out (not just of books, but of our desks 😨).  In the meantime, many of you will be settling down to a new daily reading book.  If you haven't yet found a suitable one, we have some suggestions in our latest eBulletin... click here to view.
Don't forget though, that a sort out around here means that lots of books will be heading onto our sale lists - especially the £3 list. So go on, pick up a bargain while you can!

Happy New Year!

By the grace of God the shop has survived another year when so many independent Christian bookshops have had to close, and we look forward to continuing in this ministry for as long as He sees fit.  Many thanks go to our loyal customers who have stuck with us through this recession even when we are unable to compete with the price cuts of the bookselling giants.  
We do make reductions when we can and it is always worth checking our sale pages to see the many bargains that can be had. We are now selling our 2011 calendars half price and some remaining Christmas cards are also reduced.
The ladies reading club is just starting its second book so for anyone interested in joining, now is a good time.  This book is more contemporary than the last and is by Martyn Lloyd-Jones.  If your new year's resolution is to read more, then the club is perfect for helping you achieve this. Let me know if you are interested.

Taking a break...

Sorry, the shop is shut for the remainder of this week. We plan to re-open after the New Year Bank Holiday on Tuesday 4th Jan. A great big thanks to all our friends and customers for their support this past year, we look forward to continuing to serve you.

Happy New Year!

Just poking my head out of the snow hole that is the bookshop to wish all readers a Happy New Year! The snow and ice has cooled the trading temperature as well as everything else, which is a relief in an odd sort of way.
Before Christmas we had a visit from the Bradford Christian School, which was really great. I want to include a very special review of a classic book, which was purchased by a Year 9 pupil (13-14 year olds I think). This is so exciting because it gives a rarely expressed 'child's eye view'. Thanks are due to the School and the young lady herself for allowing me to reproduce the review here:

The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.

The book is about a woman in Holland who lives with her sister and father above their watchmakers shop. The story escalates from just a diary of a normal life into a close to death situation when the family are caught and arrested for hiding Jews in their house. The scenery transforms from a house in a town to a small four walled prison cell. Separation, desperation and starvation are all key words in this book, but so are love, trust and sacrifice. The particular thing I like about this book is the ‘just keep trusting in God’ attitude the characters have and their ability to just keep going and loving people no matter how much pain that person may have caused.

I would recommend this to certain people that enjoy reading challenging books or to a friend that might be struggling with something, it’s like the kind of book that shows hope in awful situations.

This book is adventurous and something that you can relate to, and maybe learn from.

So there you are. If you have never read it, now's the time to start! It'll cost you £7.99 at the most.

New Year

Happy New Year everyone. There is much to be thankful for as another year begins and as always much it seems to be concerned about. The first text on the AV Block calendar for the year is very appropriate... 'Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer ... with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.' Philippians 4:6. What an encouragement to know we have a heavenly Father who knows all our needs and hears all our poor prayers.

The first quote on the Gathered Gold calendar (as mentioned by Jeremy in the previous post) is also a good one to encourage us in our daily walk as we start a New Year...
'If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.' (C T Studd)

NB. Both these calendars are still available.

We plan to reopen the shop on Monday 5th January and look forward to serving you throughout 2009.
