A New Year

One of our bestsellers throughout the year is the Daily Remembrancer by James Smith.

The Day of Small Things – John Thackway

For who hath despised the day of small things?  Zechariah 4:10. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi are the last three prophets in the Old Testament.

Covenant Foundations by Alec Motyer, published by Christian Focus Publications (2024) This is well written, and in as simple language as it can get when the topic is Covenant Theology! It gives some truly enlightening explanations of Bible passages. It traces the backbone of God’s covenants running through the whole Bible, and thus it confirms […]
