Kara* is 17. She and her boyfriend of five months are about to make the biggest mistake of their lives. That is, until someone gives her a copy of Gift Wrapped by God by Linda Dillow. Reading the stories inside, begins to rethink the direction her life is headed.
Jason* is only 10 years old. 2007 was a rough year. First his mom and dad split up, and then Uncle Albert* who was living downstairs passed away. He’s got questions and issues until someone gives him a couple of Elf Help kids books from Abbey Press.
I’ve never been able to figure out Walter* and I’ve sometimes wondered if the many books he’s bought from us are making any difference. Until last week, in the middle of the night, I suddenly realize they are his arsenal in the battle against addiction he’s waged for all the years I’ve known him. He’s currently winning, but wants to fill his head with things that are honest, truthful and of good report, because he knows how easy it is to start losing the fight.
Although the names are changed* the impact that a Christian bookstore can have in a small town is real.
