The Mobile Library takes readers on an illuminating walk through the diverse world of Christian faith and practice…
Note: A self-administered ‘course plan’ is available for those wishing to read progressively through the scheme.
How Are The Titles Selected?
- Accessible level of comprehension:
- An accessible level of reading with minimal technical language. (e.g. Billy Graham’s Peace With God)
- Broadly Orthodox in theological stance:
- (e.g. C.S. Lewis, John Stott, Donald Macleod & Lesslie Newbigin)
- Both Classical & Contemporary in the year of publication:
- Many classical works in their field by leading authors (e.g. C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity) & 70% by contemporary writers.
- Available at a moderate price:
- The books are generally available (second-hand in ‘Very Good’ or ‘As New’ condition on Amazon, AbeBooks or Ebay) at a reasonable price if participants wish to purchase their own copy OR if a book is lost or badly damaged (for replacement)
Note: The selection is continually updated to house the best book currently available on each topic. (There are 60+ ‘displaced’ titles available as ‘alternatives’)
