24.01.2022 Another Short Listed Title for Christian Book of the Year. As you will know we had the privilege of hosting an Author Dinner with Tim in the nick of time before the COVID lockdown. Here is an interview with him. PS. We still have his biography at a fantastic 40th Birthday special of only $30 - limited stock.

23.01.2022 We will be in the store this Friday for Click and Collect. What does this mean? Ring, e-mail, message- we will reply - if we have what you want in stock you can come to the door and pick it up. Sorry - no browsing, but we can certainly field queries and show you range. So Friday - 10am-3pm minimum.

22.01.2022 OK.... so even the dove sent by Noah had to come back at least once. So, I send this one out to you in peace. May peace rest with you and yours through this next hurdle. In the meantime, we are OPEN, our website is up and running. Please ring to check we are here before making a trip to visit. 9435 5762 If we don't answer we will get back to you. Oh, the coffee shop is not open (just in case you wondered).

21.01.2022 "Nothing is ever truly lost until your mum can't find it." - Anon.

21.01.2022 We have such a lovely range of Christmas Cards with deep, heartfelt, biblical messages. I have a feeling they will be selling lots this year as we all want too touch base at a deeper level with our loved ones.

21.01.2022 I was thinking about this year and this song is the song I would like to sing over us. I thought it was time to share it again. May God Bess you all this Sacred and Holy Celebration.

19.01.2022 I know that the solution isn't simple but this is so true.

17.01.2022 Such a stunning piece of music - have a smile!

16.01.2022 Just an update on our hours. We plan to be here Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9-3 (at least). Please still ring to make sure we are here - in case we wake up sick.

16.01.2022 Jackie French - "If you want an intelligent child, give them a book. If you want a more intelligent children give them more books".

16.01.2022 Another delightful poem from Tim. Dogma and Love I’m worried about my Dogma... It hasn’t gone as planned He met a girl called Doctrine; She wants to hold his hand. I’m not so sure they’re good together Their manners sometimes grate Her knowledge and his bluntness, Besides he’s only eight. Doctrine’s fine with Love and Grace, My other two offspring, It’s just when she’s with Dogma Her words pick up a sting. Her kindest thoughts are not immune To Dogma’s strange effect. They end up strident, sharp and hard And really quite direct. I think that I will do my best To keep them both apart. Let Doctrine stick with Love and Grace; Stay focused on the heart.

14.01.2022 Here is a children's Story Bible that emphasises multiculturalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO7WBeBlFSg

14.01.2022 Mother's Day is coming soon and I had to share this quote from this delightful book that we sell - must be the sister in me. "Conscience: That which makes a boy tell his mother before his sister does." oh, the book is $18.99

11.01.2022 With so many hot-button issues this year, it's easy for disagreements to come between friends and family members. Still, there's a way to honor God in these tough conversations. Find more tips here: bit.ly/TipsForToughConversations

10.01.2022 Love it. It reminds me of how creation is supposed to be with us as caretakers. It also reminds me that life is now slower and we can enjoy creation more.

09.01.2022 A beautifully presented gift edition. Experience a closer walk with God. Walking in Grace is written especially for women looking for simplicity, authenticity and beauty in everyday life. This daily devotional is a haven of calm contemplation amid the busyness of life, providing courage, hope and wisdom. $21.99

09.01.2022 Joking is undignified; that is why it is so good for one’s soul. G. K. Chesterton Next time you come into the shop I will be happy to share one of my favourite jokes with you! The one about the scientists who decide that we don't need God anymore.

08.01.2022 Karl manages a fabulous bookstore in Katoomba - He also has a gift with words and a shared love of books and God. I had to share this, with empathy for all those people who have stacks of books still to read like I do. Though I have to say my Mum is worse.... or better?

06.01.2022 So - Still on the theme of Doves. Here we go again (thank you Wikimedia for this image).! We go home to roost for a while. This is a mourning Dove - somehow a little appropriate, and yet it is also nesting time- coming to spring rapidly. AND we will have the opportunity to watch and see where the birds are nesting and look for the new growth all around us. WE ARE OPEN TO DO CONTACTLESS SALES - CLICK AND COLLECT. Phone, e-mail or hop onto our website. We will try to look a...fter you as best we can. Thanks for your support. Christine See more

05.01.2022 OK. So I would have liked to give you a whole lot of emojis but since I'm not a really big fan let me tell you. It is fun to be fully open again and see your smiling faces. Today has been busy, fun, overwhelming, tiring, encouraging and we are back to cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. Thank you so much for your support over these past weeks, for buying from the website ...and ringing and ordering.... Christmas stock is on the way to being out on display and Christmas is coming at a run. See more

02.01.2022 And the Christian Book of the Year 2020 is For the Love of God: How the Church is Better and Worse Than You Ever Imagined by Natasha Moore, John Dickson, Simon Smart & Justine Toh This is what the judges had to say Would the world be better off without Christianity? This bold yet balanced appraisal of the impact of Christianity examines both the best and worst of what Christians have done over two millennia.... Natasha Moore and her collaborators confront the failure of those who claimed to follow Christ but were responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisition and the abuse of children. The ease with which Christians through the ages have ignored both the teaching of Jesus and the dissenting voices of contemporary prophets is a caution. The authors also show howwhen they obey Jesus Christians have contributed to what is beautiful and beneficial in culture and society. In a time of social media echo chambers, fact-free opinion bubbles and divisive culture wars, this sort of fair and generous commentary is invaluable. See more

02.01.2022 John Dickson. Such a gifted communicator. This book is one of the short listed titles for this year's Book of the Year. $14.99 PS He also has a great voice, did you pick him in the Australia Blessing post below? I remember his band- In the Silence. In fact, to date me, I think I still own a cassette of theirs.

01.01.2022 Time to bless you with another chapter in the life of Dogma - by my friend Tim Beattie. Fishing with Dogma. I like to fish with Dogma.... Although I’m not quite sure What it is we fish for, Or who it is, what’s more. I think we’re meant to fish for souls, As Jesus taught us to. But somehow that is lost on us- We’ve other things to do. Like argue, wrestle, chew and spar, Engage in robust thought. So what we spend our time on Is almost like a sport. Perhaps I need to steer him back From his words and books; More like his sisters, Love and Grace, Who fish with gentler hooks. We’d surely catch more fish that way, Or souls from all around By spending time on what builds up And less on what tears down. But fish with Dogma’s what I do, Despite his robust ways. It brings great joy to both of us, And wastes away our days.
