You can't beat a local christian bookshop for bibles; courses; books on everything christian, church and God; crosses for walls, shelves, necks and more; cards; music and good old fashioned advice. It is the latter which I especially value in Quench at Holme Grange Craft Village in Wokingham (and no they haven't sponsored me, and no they don't know I'm writing this).
I went in today to buy a few things:
1 - my lent course book
2 - Rachel's first cross necklace which I will give her at Eastr
3 - a standing cross for my study which I can use at prayer meetings etc
Well I got all those things, but I also got a whole load more. I got a warm welcome, a chat about my ministry since I last went in before christmas, a few laughs and the knowledge that my purchases keep a valuable local business in the business of selling books and providing a mission point in the community.
If you have a christian bookshop near you please support it, they are an invaluable resource in the high street.

I love Quench and often use the one in Maidenhead and in Reading. There are some great things in there for every aspect of life and of course, wonderful staff in every shop :-)
