The Weekly Letter
Bring the books, especially the parchments.
Every week, subscribers receive a new article and a Christian book in digital form. Nourishment for the one whose task is to nourish everyone else.
Why a letter
Even Paul asked for his books.
Writing from a Roman prison near the end of his life, the apostle asked Timothy to bring his cloak, his books and, above all, his parchments. A man who had planted churches across an empire still wanted to read, still wanted to learn and still needed to be fed.
Ministers spend most of their week pouring out. The weekly letter is a small, steady way of pouring something back in: one thoughtful article and one good book, delivered to your inbox, ready for a quiet hour.
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
2 Timothy 4:13
In every issue

About the books
Classics, and gifts we have permission to share.
The books we send are drawn from two sources. Many are Christian classics that are now in the public domain: the sermons, devotional works and pastoral writings that have strengthened ministers for centuries. Others are newer titles that authors and publishers have allowed us to share with our readers.
We never send pirated material. A ministry built on stewardship should honour the labour of those who write, as much as it honours the labour of those who preach.
Know a minister who needs something good to read?
