| | Re: | | ... as for the chewing gum, no, I made that up. But if you look around the register area they have things very similar to that. It's what I call "Jesus Junk". I think Keith Green coined that phrase.

Family Christian Bookstores has alot of nonsense and is very seeker sensitive. But also they have a classic section. Where you can get Ravenhill , Spurgeon , Tozer , Bunyan , Augustine , Wesley . Nee , Edwards , Finney and so forth.
Ever notice that you are usually the only one browsing that section?

| | Re: | | Hahah yes indeed I have my friend. I do not think there has ever been anyone else looking at the same section at the same time I was. You will be the odd ball in the store.

| | Re: | | Yes, yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and even Christian college libraries are getting rid of their "junk" as they "grow up" which is treasure to me.
Good prices and great reading. Praise the Lord!!

| | Re: | | well still you have good Christian books in your own language the only "Christian" books translated now days and sold in my language are Benny hinns and rick warrens, and the emergent church books...ive looked and looked and i cant find one single book worth buying, i found one little booklet by madame guyon, and oh ohh i almost past out when i found a book by Dr Tozer once! and this is one of the biggest Christian bookstores in my country...but i found this old second hand bookstore . i find books about 100 years old...wow... i found them all :-) allll the good old classics... a little rugged at the edges but that only gives them some "charm" . and i can buy twenty books there for one emergent church book....
and then i have SI too :-)
thank God for old used bookstores! and SI

| | May I recommend.... | | http://www.dustandashes.com/
this brother probably sells the best books on the Faith in the world.
click on auctions and you will see some REAL gems.
My two favorites are "Life Of Brainerd", (to which I mailed you one of my copies, ages ago...did you read it...DOMINICK?) and "Life Together".
many many great missionaries biographies and autobiographies he has to spur you on.

Yeah, there and the southern gospel section in the music. :-P
I mostly get my books from Family Christian bookstores, Amazon, and used Christian bookstores.
In Grand Rapids, MI there is one good used bookstore run by Baker which has some pretty neat stuff. It also has some of the new stuff that's not worth reading, but you can find some really good, old stuff. We just went there last month and as a family we probably got around forty books.

| | Re: | | Just to add to the conversation...speaking of antique books...I found this website last week. It's an antique dealer that specialises in very old Bibles. Their webpage is amazing as you can see photographs of old Bibles like a handwritten Wycliffe or a Geneva Bible. Wow. I love history so this got me excited. They even do a weekend seminar on Bible history at their location which would be really neat to go to.
Now don't fall over brothers and sisters when you see the prices. This ain't a yard sale.
