Dear Friends,
I do hope you are keeping well in these strange times. I don’t know about you, but I find myself reeling at the sudden, drastic changes in life.
Who would have thought, just a few weeks ago, that social isolation would be a thing? That supermarkets would have empty shelves? That schools, sports events, clubs, groups, pubs, cafés, restaurants and so much more, would be closed? That the coronavirus would affect so many of us, so quickly?
The good news of Jesus has stayed the same, though, which is such a relief. Whatever is happening around us, Jesus is the light of the world. He is our hope and our Rock when all around us is shifting sand. He is our resurrection and our life, even when our minister’s wife is ill with coronavirus, when I can’t go to an elderly friend’s funeral, when I can’t visit my children and grandchildren…
Your trials may be different, but we’re all in this together.
At Dernier we thought long and hard about what we can do to help in the present crisis, and have decided to offer all our books at half price (still with free shipping), while the children are off school. This means we may have to put future projects on hold, but right now our priority is to help you get the good news out there to reach the children and families on your heart (including your own, of course!).
As you know, all our books are more than fun stories – they hold out life and light and hope. And, boy, do we need a big helping of these right now!
Please feel free to order as many books as you want to, for neighbours and friends, or to send to all your church children… most are £2.99 each. We have run out of Mystery in the Snow and The City Kid, but all our other titles are currently in stock. Some are a bit low, though, so if there’s a particular book you want, now’s your time.
Many of the books come with downloadable discussion questions, which are perfect for home study. (Parents: get isolated relatives involved!)
So hop on over to our website, order the books you like the look of, and get reading with your children (or get them in the post to the children on your heart).
Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Now’s the time to shine.
May the peace of God guard your hearts and minds,
Janet
P.S. Please share our half price offer with anyone you know who might be interested, in fb groups you belong to, with home-schoolers, and with any friend who would appreciate bargain Christian books with children at home. Let’s get the good news out there! Thank you – sharing is caring, more than ever before. 🙂
