Ministry Bookstore
We operate a bookstore in conjunction with the Marlborough Bible Baptist Church in Blenheim and therefore stock a number of good, conservative Christian books that are written by Bible-believing authors, including a few by Dr J G Williams, the author of the NZCSB. If you wish to read a good book to further your knowledge on a particular topic then chances are we have something for you! We also stock good Christian music, Bible cases, Bibles, Christian ties, and Bible marking pens. Our inventory is ever changing, so contact us to see what we can do for you! All profits through the bookstore go towards church planting work in New Zealand.
The books below are provided through the Fishpod.co.nz webstore. Fishpond is the largest online retailer for books in New Zealand and is 100% Kiwi owned. While we can't vouch for all the books on their website, we can reccomend the books below! If you purchase a book through the links below, Fishpond will donate 10% to the NZCSB which will be used to further the work of the school. Thanks for your support!
