Why
order books from Britain?
Some
books are available in England before they are put into
distribution in the US. Some books just never make it across
the Atlantic at all.
And it's
an easy way to send a gift to someone you know in Great
Britain.
Is it
difficult buying abroad?
Ordering
from Amazon.co.uk is much like buying from Amazon in the
U.S. You should find it pretty simple. Shipping is fast,
also.
How
about the cost?
The
British Pound now is about US$1.64. There's a currency
converter at the bottom of this page, if you want fairly
accurate information. For Americans, shipping costs are
higher when buying in Britain than when buying from
Amzaon.com in the US. Shipping costs are outlined
here. Some credit card
companies charge a 2 or 3 per cent currency exchange fee.
Some don't. Check your agreement.
Recommendations.
Here are some interesting
books that you won't find in the United States. For more
information, or to purchase, click on the title or on the
book cover. For other books from Amazon.co.uk, click on the

The
 English
Cathedral
By Tim Tatton-Brown, John Crook (Photographer) /
Hardcover / November 2002
With over 240 colour
photographs, this book celebrates all the
fascinating and diverse cathedrals, both Anglican
and Roman Catholic, to be found on English soil. It
covers all 63 cathedrals, from Truro in Cornwall to
Carlisle near the Scottish border. Written by an
expert in church history and design, the text sheds
light on the cathedrals' evolving architectural
styles and changing roles through the centuries.
Church
 Explorer's
Handbook
By Open Churches
Trust, Clive Fewins / June 2005
Visiting English churches
as part of a day out or a vacation is a hugely
popular activity, but without a guide, the
fascinating stories that a church building has to
tell remain a secret. Even where local churches
provide visitors' guides, these often contain
little more than architectural notes. This
down-to-earth and friendly guide not only explains
the differences between different styles of church
architecture, but how churches have evolved over
the centuries to look the way they do today, how to
recognise and understand the individual features of
any church building, and what everything in them is
used for. Illustrations, boxed features, a glossary
of terms and a county-by county guide of
outstanding churches to visit make this an
indispensable companion.
 A Brand from the Burning: The Life
of John Wesley
By Roy Hattersley
John Wesley led the Second
English Reformation. His Methodist "Connexion" was
divided from the Church of England, not by dogma
and doctrine but by the new relationship which it
created between clergy and people. He could not
have realised that his influence on the new
industrial working class would play a major part in
shaping society during the century of Britain's
greatest power and influence and that Methodism
would become a worldwide religion and the
inspiration of 20th-century television
evangelism.
Awesome
 God
By Sara Maitland / Paperback / March 2002
This is a wide-ranging
book about the relationship between God and
contemporary science and culture. This leads into a
consideration of how we should respond as
Christians to a number of controversial and
contemporary issues. The themes are similar to
those in her previous book A Big-Enough God, which
was very successful, but this is presented
accessibly for those with no theological
training.
St
 George
By Christopher Stace / Paperback / March
2002
How did a fourth century
solider-saint become so famous throughout the east
and west and end up as the patron saint of England?
This fascinating books begins with the known facts,
before moving on to the mass of legends that grew
up around George's name. It explores the saint's
vast popularity in England through the ages, and
the way his cult endures today, looking at his
historical and spiritual significance.
The
 Bible in Cockney
By Mike Coles / Paperback / Apr 2001
The Holy Bible (well, bits
of it anyway) has been translated into cockney
rhyming slang, which will amuze many Brits and may
puzzle many Americans. Read how Jesus feeds five
thousand geezers with just five loaves of Uncle
Fred and two Lilian Gish. Or how Noah built a
bloomin' massive nanny. Then there's always the
story of David and that massive geezer Goliath. It
contains an introduction explaining the aims and
background of the book, including an explanation of
cockney slang, plus seven Old Testament episodes
and the stories of Mark's Gospel, "translated" into
cockney slang. The book concludes with the Lord's
Prayer and a full glossary of Cockney slang terms
and phrases.

 Travels with a
Primate
By Terry Waite / Hardcover / Nov 2000
Terry Waite reminisces on
the seven years of his travels with Runcie as the
Archbishop's Advisor on Anglican Communion Affairs,
bringing out the humorous and therefore human
touch. Woven into the anecdotes are interesting
snippets of history about the Archbishops of
Canterbury, Lambeth Palace and the complex organism
called the Anglican Communion. Anglicans are better
than most religious people at laughing at
themselves; and without preaching, Terry Waite
manages to communicate quiet trust in a God who is
in charge despite the sometimes tumultuous and
chaotic activities of mankind.
Interview
with Terry Waite
He
Never Said...
By Steve Chalke / Paperback / Dec 2000
Chalke combines social
analysis, celebrity analogies and present-day
stories to debunk common modern myths. Is "God
helps those who help themselves" the kind of
statement that would ever have crossed the lips of
Jesus?
Common

Prayer, may be previewed at the Church

 Christianity: A Global
History
by David Chidester / Hardcover / June 2000
Christianity claims the
allegiance of up to a third of the world's
population and has had a profound impact on almost
all the rest. In his accessible and comprehensive
history, leading authority David Chidester examines
the key doctrines and developments, from the
ancient origins of Christian beliefs and practices
during the first five centuries, through the
historical transitions of the mediaeval and
Byzantine era, to the global transformations of
Christianity in the modern world.

The
English:
A Portrait of a People
By Jeremy Paxman
Though very easy to read,
this book still is an intelligent portrait of the
English, delving deeply into their psyche. Never
overly judgmental, but always opinionated, Paxman
has written a book that is both enjoyable and
educating.

Dancing
on the Edge
By Richard Holloway, Primus of the Scottish
Episcopal Church
Scholarly yet accessible.
The Bishop takes us through the main objections to
belief in a loving and personal deity, then takes
on the fraught issue of human sexuality, and
finishes by looking at ways of relating to the
Church as an evolving, yet divinely inspired
ethical and moral system.

Godless
Morality
By Richard Holloway,
Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church
An intellectually
stimulating book which shows WHY for centuries
people have confused ethical imperatives with the
demands of a set of beliefs.
