Over 13 years, 14 books, 40 readers, more than 560 blog posts and nearly 800 comments, our online ladies reading club has studied the writings of John Owen, Thomas Watson, Martin Luther, J C Ryle and many more. But I have now decided not to start a new book. Partly, this is because I recognise that technology has moved on and other online book clubs are making use of podcasts and video calls to co…

Going Home by Don Fortner (Go Publications, 2018)This is classic Don, clear, concise and Christ exalting. Don loved to preach and teach about Christ, and in Going Home he is in his element, fully expounding Christ both as the only way to heaven, and as the fulness of heaven.

66 Books: One Story was originally published 10 years ago and was followed up in 2019 by 30 Prophecies: One Story. In our humble opinion as booksellers, they never really gained the traction they deserved.

In January 1983 our little Christian Bookshop opened. It was a venture of faith for Jeremy's father who had been selling Christian books already for many years from an attic room in his house. The shop has seen many changes over the 40 years, but what has remained constant is the focus on Sovereign Grace literature and a desire to make it widely available.
