Book poverty is a huge problem in the UK.

Here are some facts:

  • According to Literacy Trust research, nearly 6% of children said they don’t possess a book of their own at home.
  • Most churches no longer give Christian books to children in Sunday Schools and children’s groups.
  • It is estimated that only 50% of the children of Christian parents grow up with a personal faith of their own as adults (source: Care for the Family).

What Can Your Church Do?

Our children are so precious! Christian books are a brilliant way to encourage and inspire your own church kids (if you are blessed enough to have any), and/or reach out to families you are in contact with.

One book can change the course of a life instantly; or it can be a vital link in a chain on a journey to faith. (Did you love the books you were given as a child? If so, it’s time to pass it forward!)

Christian books are brilliant tools to help encourage families to talk about faith together, as well as being great fun! But many families are struggling to make ends meet, so books have become a luxury for many. The church can help.

Many churches also do so much wonderful work in the community and are in contact with many families, often the poorer in society. Christian books can communicate the good news of Jesus for you, even when you’re not there – and a child’s book is often a non-threatening gift that will speak to the whole family.

Would your church help?

Don’t let the families in your community miss out. The harvest is ready, but the workers are few. A book can multiply your seed many times over!
  • All our books are great for:
  • Church libraries (everyone can get to read the stories – that’s great value!)
  • Gifts to church kids
  • Gifts to the community

Just want you to know how amazing your books are!


1.  One girl aged 8 from a very difficult background, came to me on Sunday.  It was her birthday last Thursday.  She was thrilled to bits when she got 3 birthday cards.  One from Grandma, one from Kidz Klub, and one from the lady who sponsored her book! The only thing she asked for her birthday was another book like “I Want To Be an Airline Pilot.” Grandma bought her “The Birthday Shoes.”  Result: one very happy little girl.

2. One lady who lives 17 miles away from church, came on Sunday.  She came because she had read her son’s book, one of the Treasure Mystery ones.  Her son loves coming to Kidz Klub, and she wanted to see why. At the end of the service she stayed behind to talk to the preacher, and after a long chat with him, she was born again!  Wow, wow, and wow again!!”
