This week's Bookshop Boss recommendations from Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market... 'Time to Act' from Christian Climate Action arrived into the shop yesterday and we are now done to only one copy left in stock... Its a resource book with a series of chapters from a range of different people, and though it's main appeal is to those involved with XR & other Climate Change groups its also well worth reading at church or individual level for consideration on a response and actions to take for change. Then new in the Holy Habits series is 'Serving' both the individual biblical reflections book and the group studies material... Like the others in the series this is excellent material that really helps you explore deeper what 'Serving' really means in a Christian context and in our everyday lives. Cathy Madavan's 'Irrepressible' is a really good book on the concept of Resilience, what it is and how to have it! Easy to read and with some great insightful question at the end of each chapter - that though for Individuals could with a bit of tweaking make for an incredible group study too. Finally Ken Costa's 'Joseph of Arimathea' is a beautiful hardback with an interior that has bright yellow splashes throughout, a bit like the bright moments of courage when we take a stand... Of which this book actually talks about quite a lot... Because of its production values this one would make an incredible gift I think. Of course there are a lot more books than these that arrived in this week... And also we had Palm Crosses and more Easter Cards & books in too, so it would be great to see some of you come in and pick up some great resources ;) Remember without you there is no us, so we love it when you do come in and support your local bookshop like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #spirituality #church #brf #spck #xr #climatechange #resilience #biblecharacters #authors #reviews #lincoln #Lincolnshire #market

Some Wow books in stock now at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market... First up the newest from local author, Margaret Dickinson! The Spitfire Sisters is the third book in the Maitland Trilogy and is as ever a great read. Then a special counter offer while stocks last! False Tongues by Kate Ellis is only £4.99 and is a brilliant read with her usual blend of mystery, Church politics, and insightful relationship explorations. Finally the most wonderful children's book that this Forest Church Leading adult is totally in love with! Happy - A Children's Book of Mindfulness by Nicola Edwards & Kate Hickey is beautiful, just beautiful and explains mindfulness (and the core of Forest Church too if you ask me!) simply, elegantly and experientially. Honestly this book isn't just for children despite what the cover says, just reading it feels like a journey into mindfulness as well as into the great outdoors where nature speaks and embrace us! So come and visit us at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market to pick up these great books - and the many more in the shop like them. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #generalbooks #childrensbooks #childrensactivities #thrillers #authors #lincoln #Lincolnshire #localbookshop #littletiger #pan #spck #margaretdickinson #nicolaedwards #katecharles

Just a few of my favourite #Lent & Easter Books in stock at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market right now... I cannot tell you how beautiful and heartbreaking Wild Hope is as it takes us through Lent on journeys with the amazing animals and Wildlife that are endangered in our world - it is designed for Lent but these stories are for everyday and would work in a multitude of situations! Then Margaret Silf's 'Soul Journey' is a 40 day journey into the spiritual journey and being the best we can be... Another one that is at home out of Lent as guiding us through it. Next is the superb 'Sacred Space for Lent 2020' - a wonderful work for the young, older, and those with less time as each day has an insightful, engaging, short yet indepth reading and consideration. Finally a colouring book from the Lindisfarne Scriptorium for those that find art a foci for their prayer life. (Just to say there are lovely Lent & Easter activity books & pocket prayer cards from them too!). Like I say this is just a few of my personal favourites, but there are so many others too like 'Saying yes to lofe' or the #livelifelivelent material... Come in to Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and see what speaks to your soul to journey with through Lent. Also just to say we also have Easter Cards in stock as well as Paschal Candles and Palm Crosses! We look forward to seeing you soon. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #theology #spirituality #Lent #easter #resources #ecology #environment #climatechange #faith #lentbooks #colouringbooks #art #lincoln #Lincolnshire #lincolncentralmarket

One of a beautiful new range we have received into Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market today... They can either be hung up or used as decorative garden stepping stones! After much hmm'ing and arr'ing over the different verses this one though now has pride of place in my garden as you can see! But at only £14.99 it was a real bargain... (and I'm still not sure more might not come home with me yet, so if you like the look & think you might like one you want to hurry in and make a choice 😉😂😂). There were quite a few gift items come into stock today, as well as these, so pop in and have a look soon 😊 https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #gifts #giftshops #garden #steppingstones #plaques #gardenornaments #ornments #romangifts #books #book #indiebookshop #lincolnmarket #Lincoln #Lincolnshire

The amazing thing about my job as the Bookshop Boss of Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market is that although I'm no midwife, GP, nurse, vicar, or formal minister, is the sheer connection I have with a great number of families and how in a small way I get to be part of the lives of them... From excited grandparents to expectant parents at the earliest of points and throughout the growing journey to birth, then into christendom, be it baptisms, christenings, naming days or dedications, and still on through toddler years, and starting school, and all the way, in some cases now these days, into the teens and coming of ages! It's amazing and glorious and beautiful and humbling that this Bookshop Boss gets to take that journey in some small, but real, way with so very many families and people! Amazing really isn't it - and that's just the babies and birth stories I share in all because of being in a Bookshop - Talk about being a place of community! There's also the meeting and romancing and wedding planning that often goes before - or just is and of itself... Amazing how much community I get to be part of just being a Bookshop Boss. I'm not a priest or a deacon, but I don't doubt I am a servant of God nonetheless, and in many ways it feels there's a loose passing nod to a diaconal 'servants' ministry found here in the ministry of the bookshop, because as well as meeting in the sharing of experiences of baptism, and marriages, we offer space at the edges, stand at the door of welcome to those perhaps afraid to otherwise come in to a 'church' place - or even aware that they could. We are a liminal space, a safe space, a place of words - and also silence; A place of books - and images; a place of answers - and questions... And we do the walk into the shadows too, the journey through illness, and into the loss and bereavement with so many, and we are often there for the lonely too. It's a joy really to serve in this bookshop... It's without doubt where God has called this Bookshop Boss to serve my ministry through this time and place. MC
