Bookstall and book reviews

The bookstall at the back of the church is now back in operation after a short period of disruption caused by our previous supplier closing down. A wide selection of Christian books is available; - Self helps, inspirational biographies and study books.

Most of the books are acquired on a sale-or-return basis, so there is a turn round approximately every 4 or 5 weeks.

I would welcome any suggestions for books not on the stall at the present time, and orders can be taken for a particular book.

Bibles come in such a variety of translations and versions that it is not possible to have a large selection on view, but I can usually find a particular version on request.

Scroll down to read a selection of book summaries or scroll to the bottom of this page to email me an enquiry about a specific book.

Who’s Who and Where’s Where in the Bible

Which disciple did Jewish leaders call “Scum”?  Why was Enoch not like the rest of us?  Who had a bed more than thirteen feet long?  Find out for yourself in this book which is written in everyday language, yet is accurate in scholarly detail.. You’ll want to keep it right next to your Bible.

Introducing the Old Testament

This book provides an excellent and informative introduction to a collection of writings that lie at the heart of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

It also faces up to some of the ethical issues raised by contemporary concerns such as ethnic cleansing, in a style which is accessible for both student and general reader.

Junkie meets Jesus in a Trash Can

Colin Garnett grew up in Stockport, in a tough working class culture. A teenage involvement with alcohol, drugs and violence led to an adult heroin addiction and a crime-and-drugs lifestyle which saw him doing time in twenty-seven different prisons.  But on 17 June 1993, in a prison chapel, he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. From that moment, God began to transform his life.

Today, Colin leads Christian Rehab in South Africa, helping others to find freedom from drugs through a personal relationship with Jesus.

Arch Books

A favourite for more than four decades, Arch Books captivate children with colourful pictures and creative poems.  Each book presents a complete Bible story in a fun-to-read way that children aged 5-9 will understand and remember.

Several titles are available on the bookstall.
