Our Bookstall
The church has had a bookstall for over 50 years. We believe it is important that regular worshippers and visitors can have the opportunity to browse and purchase books and other materials including:
• Books about the Christian faith and our churches
• Devotional materials to aid personal prayer and reflection
• Inspirational stories from Christians and people of faith
• Works that will help us to understand a Christian perspective on some of the important issues facing the world
The bookstall has been ably managed since its inception by Mr Charles Taplin and we are very excited to be taking over this important part of the church’s ministry.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, or the books shown below are no longer stocked on the stall, and you’d like a copy, please contact us on pickeringchurchbooks@gmail.com
Watch this space for news about new stock and events.

Writing from loved experience as much as knowledge, David Adam conveys a delight in the mystery of bring that is deeply appealing. Love the World opens by looking at the beginning of the universe, then moves on to the earth’s atmosphere, the miracle of water and things that we often take for granted but are essential for our health and happiness. It focuses on our relationship with the world and encourages us to reflect on what really matters. In our most fragile moments we know that we are of dust and to dust we shall return, but in our depths, we know there is more. We are not created out of nothing but out of love. The very source of your being is love. |
