Book Gifts from Christianbook International Outreach

By Anthony:

I wanted to publicly express gratitude to Christianbook International Outreach and Crossway. Both of these companies recently donated books for Ugandan leaders on a shipping container that Christianbook paid for to send to Uganda. This was for many of their partners scattered around Uganda. I was blown away by their generosity. Both Christianbook and Crossway gave books, but not random old used books. They both gave brand new books of our choice. We and other members of our Resonate Global Mission team were able to request the specific books that we wanted. We could request books that Ugandan leaders were requesting or that they would appreciate.

We were able to request many Africa Study Bibles from Christianbook. This Bible is excellent because all of the study notes are from African theologians and Bible scholars. We gave these to various bishops from different regions of Uganda to give to some of their pastors.

Charles Epongu, secretary from Kaberamaido PAG pastorate says - "I would love to extend my gratitude to Christianbook for the wonderful offer of the Africa Study Bibles. These Study Bibles help God's Servants defend the truth in such a generation full of false teachings and prophecies. We continue to pray for more. God bless you."

Then for the Pastor's book group that I lead monthly in Soroti, Crossway gave us these Building Healthy Churches book sets. It will take us a couple years to get through all of the books. We have already finished the one called, "The Gospel" and are now on a second book. These books are prompting excellent and deep discussion! We are all learning more together.

Esolu Charles, deacon of Majengo PAG church said, "I am currently studying the book, The Gospel. I am gaining a deeper insight in the word of God through the elaborate exposition of Scripture. Also, it is amazing the way that the author brings out how we should use the gospel to shape the life and culture of our churches."

Other books that Christianbook gave us to distribute to pastors have included some books by Tim Keller, systematic theologies, a book on resolving conflict, and a book on biblical interpretation. Here is a photo of some of the Soroti PAG Assembly pastors who also received books.

Besides getting books for pastors, Sara was able to request Bible study books on Hebrews, Philippians, and Romans for the youth who participated in her Bible studies during Covid time. They were very excited to have another resource they can use to study the Bible with their friends.

 

There are a lot of places you can buy books today. But I heartily encourage you to support Christianbook and Crossway. They are not just out to make a profit. They are incredibly generous with their books to help pastors around the world.
