More Summer Reading
Don't forget the three books, one from each of the first three decades of the 20th century, re-published earlier this year from the back-catalogue of the Central Bible Truth Depot:
"Extracts from the Letters of Samuel Rutherford" selected by Hamilton Smith, first published in 1913 as Volume 1 of a 3-part series of selected devotional, Christ-exalting writings of the English Puritans under the series title "Gleanings from the Past" (look out for the other 2 volumes later this year!);
also "Short Papers on the Church" by Hamilton Smith, first published in 1925, and based on a series of articles which appeared first in "Scripture Truth" of 1922;
and finally "The Epistle of Christ" edited by F B Hole, which records a 4-day series of meetings held in Leeds from April 6th-9th 1937, where the speakers included F B Hole, J T Mawson, A J Pollock and Hamilton Smith, to name but a few!
Perhaps you missed out on some of our new publications last year. Now is a good time to stock up with summer reading! Have you read our paperbacks by contemporary authors:
The Gospel in Job by Yannick Ford (also available in hardback) or Lessons from Ezra by Ted Murray yet?
Or what about one of our re-published good books from the past:
For a book that's easy to dip into, with a number of short chapters, and the associated Bible passages reproduced in the text, what could be better than the first of our new editions of the writings of J T Mawson: Delivering Grace, a practical study in the life of Elisha. It's available in both paperback and hardback.
Hamilton Smith is an early 20th century writer with an easy style and neat turn of phrase, and we can offer you a choice of a New Testament outline of The Gospel of Mark (in paperback or hardback), or devotional studies of two of the great Old Testament prophets: Elijah and Elisha.
If you have questions about God's Inspiration of the Scriptures, then William Kelly's book is just the thing, and if you want a good overview of the contents of each individual book in the Bible, then it contains that too! If you really want to know what the Bible really says about the way the Church should operate, the same author's Lectures on the Church is well worth a read; but be prepared to have your ideas challenged! Our William Kelly titles are available in both hardback and paperback editions.
If you are looking for a comprehensive, easy to follow, commentary on the whole of the New Testament, then F B Hole's New Testament Commentary in 4 handy volumes, now available in paperback and hardback, could be just what you need.

Online Purchases:
Some of our customers may find it easier (and sometimes quicker and cheaper) to order STP publications through online booksellers. To help in this we have a
page of links for customers in the UK, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and Japan. Not all booksellers supply all our books, and new books may take a little time to appear in their catalogues,
so not all links may be operational immediately. We are, of course, still happy to accept orders directly, and these can be placed via the Web Order page.
Why not order a subscription to Scripture Truth magazine for 2008? Every 3 months a 32-page magazine arrives - full of interesting and challenging articles expounding the truths found in the Word of God.
Online Shop:
For UK customers only, who don't like the idea of using their credit/debit cards on the Internet and who wish to pay for goods in advance by cheque, we have a small selection of items at postage-inclusive prices,
which can be purchased from our new online shop.
"Biblio-file"

Christian Publisher and Bookseller
The publishing and bookselling work of Scripture Truth was established in the 1800s in London, but from 1976 to 2007 it was based in Northumberland - first in Wooler and then, from 1996, in Morpeth. In the early part of 2008 we have relocated to premises in Crewe, Cheshire. Much of our business in the past has been by mail order and we have re-focussed to concentrate on this aspect of our work, along with publishing.
Used Books
If you are interested in buying used books predominantly from the 19th and 20th centuries, then be sure to take a look at our pages at Abebooks. But browse there anyway - there are sure to be some new and used copies of recent publications as well!
Our Own Publications
For most Scripture Truth publications, if you want to scan through the Table of Contents, read a brief Synopsis or even, for some books, read a Review or, if you are looking for a particular word or phrase, Search Inside - take a look at the relevant pages on Amazon.co.uk. See our STP Publications page for the necessary links.
TRY before you buy: you can browse extracts from many of our older publications online using the new Google Book Search UK service (currently in beta testing). Search for the full title of a book and then "search within the book" for a specific word or phrase.
International Mail Order Service
Our international mail order business is now based at Crewe as well as the publishing work, which includes the quarterly "Scripture Truth" magazine, the bi-monthly "Alive" gospel tract and the annual Cheering Words calendar.
Scripture Truth at AbeBooks
We have a selection of over 1,000 used books for sale at Abebooks (the Advanced Book Exchange). We specialise in the writings of the Plymouth Brethren but you will also find books by well-known, and not so well-known, evangelical writers. Some volumes are scarce or rare. A typical selection (apart from William Kelly, J G Bellett, C H Mackintosh and John Nelson Darby) might include volumes by Sir Robert Anderson, H P Barker, Colonel Jacob, W T P Wolston, J G Deck, Andrew Miller, J T Mawson, F B Hole, F F Bruce, Campbell Morgan, Andrew Bonar, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, L Berkhof and W E Vine as well as contemporary authors such as Cor Bruins.
