Two football fans offer some stadium-sized deals

Christian bookshops are still able to offer great bargains.

That will be the message to CRE 25 visitors from the self-styled ‘Blues Brothers’ Barry Mockford and Dave Lock. Representing Canaan Christian Ministries from Staines and Oasis Christian Bookshop in Wallington, messrs Mockford and Lock will join forces again to demonstrate that independent Christian bookshops are still alive and kicking – often when churches are closed.

‘We want the public to know that, despite declining numbers, there are many hard-working people keeping alive a Christian presence on the high street,’ Barry told CRE News. ‘They often offer much more than a bookshop alone.’

Called the Blues Brothers because of their love for club world cup winners Chelsea FC, they will offer CRE  25 visitors ‘some stadium-sized bargains’.

‘We have a large selection of different books that will be at the special exhibition price of only £1,’ added Barry. ‘In addition, we will have many gifts from Just Cards and Teal Press, for example – plus exclusive baby blessing and throw blankets that will not only be at special exhibition prices but not available anywhere else – even online!’

CRE 25 visitors will also receive a 10 per cent discount voucher for use in both of their shops – and a free book!
