Editor’s Note Dear Friends, This Christmas there is a fantastic selection of new books from some of our best loved authors. Timothy Keller’s insightful book on Jonah. John Ortberg’s new book, ‘Eternity is Now in Session’, that explores in detail what Jesus meant by ‘eternal life’. Francis Chan’s challenging book ‘Letters to the Church’ calls us to reflect on whether the Church in the western world is really what Jesus had in mind. To name just a few...

We have some great gift ideas including Tom Wright’s majestic biography on Paul and the stunning ‘The Infographic Bible’ which helps us to visualise the drama of scripture.

I would also like to commend the new ‘Good News Youth Bible’ to you. The Bible Society have worked alongside Youth for Christ and engaged with young people to find out what would be helpful to them. The result is a beautiful, creative youth Bible which will help young people understand, engage & relate to the Scriptures and the God whom they all point towards.

We have a brilliant selection of kid’s books to help children understand the true meaning of Christmas. We are particularly fond of ‘A Pirate Christmas’ which is a fun way for kids to be reminded of the true treasure which we can find at Christmas. We are also very impressed with ‘Wild Advent’ written by Rachel Summers who runs a Forest School, in it are dozens of fun & creative ideas to do outside with children and each idea has a reflection and a prayer.

Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support. We are really grateful to have such wonderful and loyal customers. I pray that you and your loved ones have a wonderful time this Christmas and draw near to each other and to our wonderful saviour Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Steve Barnett, Managing Director

New Titles from CWR James Hudson Taylor: called by God Into the Heart of the Dragon by Ruth Broomhall £12.99 OUR PRICE £10.99 In this telling of the life story of James Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, the power of the living God and the possibilities of the Christian life is demonstrated.

An ordinary man, Hudson Taylor, was called at a young age to an extraordinary task: to take the message of God’s love to the people of China. A calling, which he willingly accepted with abundant joy and first sailed to China when he was just 21 years old. A life of service in China required incredible strength and resolve and was not without personal tragedy but Hudson Taylors legacy continues today.

Ruth Broomhall draws on family archives to bring this unique portrayal of a great missionary. Each chapter ends with suggestions for the reader to think and respond to the themes further.

And dig deeper into why, in God’s strange wisdom, Christmas is supposed to change everything.

Eugene Peterson 6th November 1932 - 22nd October 2018

Eugene Peterson, best known as the author of ‘The Message’ and writer of over 40 other books, went to glory on the 22nd of October, a week after entering hospice care for complications related to heart failure and dementia.

Eugene Peterson was a hugely influencial author, particularly amongst Christian leaders, often described as a ‘pastor to the pastors’. In his writing he aimed to keep church leaders firmly grounded in theology and encouraged a wise and gentle approach to pastoral care. Amongst his most celebrated works are his ‘Pastoral Theology’ series, ‘Spiritual Theology’ series, ‘Run with Horses’ & ‘A Long Obedience in the Same Direction.’

Peterson’s goal in creating ‘The Message’ which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, was, in his own words, to “bring the New Testament to life for two different types of people: those who hadn’t read the Bible because it seemed too distant and irrelevant and those who had read the Bible so much that it had become ‘old hat’.”

Closer to home, Eugene Peterson’s work has been influencial amongst the staff at St Andrews Bookshop. Andi Bray our Sales Director writes: ‘Eugene Petersons ‘Spiritual Theology’ series was hugely influential in my discipleship and growth in Christ, particularly ’Eat this Book’ which changed the way I approach the scriptures. I thank God for Eugene Peterson’s life and work and I’m sure God will continue to use his words for many decades to come.’

Two new titles by Eugene Peterson have recently been released.

‘The Message Devotional Bible’ features hundreds of Eugene Peterson’s faith-filled reflections and insights.
