2024 was the best year for book sales from Church Society in recorded memory.
The organisation’s publications ministry includes books, pamphlets, a theological journal and a magazine, all of which can be found at the Church Society website (churchsociety.org) and many can also be purchased on Amazon, and in digital formats. A bestseller for 2024 was A Month With The Messiah, a new devotional resource with 30 reflections on the libretto of Handel’s musical masterpiece, from a range of theologians, pastors and musicians (see review p.27).
Shorter books are also growing in popularity, such as Courage, Persistence, Joy, which is an enormously encouraging read at just over 50 pages. Kirsten Birkett’s work on Class was another relatively short book that was a strong seller, prompting a lot of conversation about this important issue for the church in the UK.
