The story that’s inspired millions As the Nazi madness swept across Europe, a young Christian in Holland, Corrie ten Boom, and her family risked their lives to shelter many Jews and help them escape. Corrie’s most famous book, The Hiding Place, tells her remarkable story, revealing how her faith kept her going in the extreme desperation of a German concentration camp. How was it possible to know the love of God in Ravensbruck?

Now The Hiding Place is presented as a gift set – the classic book plus the DVD – for the very special Living Word price of £13.99 ‘…an absolutely extraordinary book. Never have I read a book in which the spiritual beauty of the author so resonated throughout the story. The DVD is an excellent and faithful adaption of the book.’ – Amazon reviews

Amazing Love The Amazing Love DVD tells of a group of teens on a weekend camping trip with their church youth group leader and his wife. When there’s a dispute in the group, the leader takes the opportunity to share the powerful story of the Old Testament prophet Hosea as an example of true commitment and unconditional love. ‘Great acting, and a great plot. It bounces back and forth between modern and biblical times and shows a great picture of God’s love for us.’ – Amazon review

Meet David Shepherd – manager of The Living Word David, do you have any special Christmas family traditions? Quite simply, we just like spending time together! My son Matthew (30) likes to play board games, so that’s always likely to be on the agenda. Anything seasonal selling especially well at the shop? Christmas cards, advent candles, Bibles and ‘gifty wifty’ type things – note the Dr Who influence! With THE BIBLE mini series on Channel 5, I suspect we’ll be selling a lot of related products. Is there a book or DVD you’d like to find in your Christmas stocking? You know, I must be one of the very few people who’s never seen the James Stewart film, It’s a Wonderful Life. That would do me fine. Apparently it’s very moving – and I love a good cry! And something you’re planning to give?

My team and I wish all friends of the shop a very joyful Christmas and a blessed New Year. Thank you for your support. We look forward to serving you in 2014.
