Making the connection

How can we serve the church of Jesus Christ in their work for the Gospel?

At The Good Book Company, all our thinking about what we do is based on this simple question. We've never seen ourselves simply as publishers, booksellers or conference organisers.

And that's what's behind this new website and blog combo that you are looking at now. The website will help us offer you more resources, more efficiently, and with more special offers than before.

And this blog is not a thinly disguised attempt to put an extra book in your hand, or take an extra pound from your pocket. Nor is it a platform for us to show off our Bible learning, or to impress you with our sharp mindedness (you probably wouldn't be very impressed anyway!).

It is about trying to be an online community of ordinary Christians: a forum where we can serve one another with the gifts and connections God has given us. Connections with what's going on in the news and in our culture; connections with ideas for practical ministry, whether it's in the pulpit, at Sunday School or over coffee with a friend; connections with other resources and encouragements online; but above all connections with the Bible and our daily lives.

So please come back and be part of the community that this blog will start to create. Read, comment, contribute as you like! Sign up to the RSS feed. We'd love you to help us, as we try to help you, as we aim to serve Christ together.
