Local (SG) Christian bookstores

The only bookstores we have publicly are mainly Tecman: http://www.tecman.com.sg/Home.html at Bras Basah, Victoria St or the ones at our own churches. Mine at Ebenezer Church hasn't seen any new incoming books for a number of years, so its a bit like stunted growth; and it's more like a library and the books are antiques. I still like that I can open a book and it crackles...

Anyhow, some months back I had a whole luggage-full of Christian books in my abode and thinking they would all go to waste hidden in the rural corners of my clothes cupboard, I fished out as many as I thought appropriate and surrendered them to the Librarian for vetting of their contents. It has yet to turn up in the library proper -.- The Librarian is still settling into her job.

In the meantime, I've found a couple of reliable places to purchase a booklet or two on quality Christian Living. The Navigators' Media in S'pore has a good plethora of books and booklets that have been used by Bible Leaders and passed on. The booklets even come with Bible Study questions (their resource lah)... So far I discovered classics like "My Heart, Christ's Home" by Robert Boyd Munger and "Man of Faith" by George Mueller. I can't find them online, so you may have to wait for the next shipping or phone in a request.

Shalom Christian Church has their bookstore on premise in Paya Lebar Industrial Estate, so the best means to get any books would be to get your butt there instead of ordering online (website's not totally fixed up). But no matter 'cos you can't be disappointed. Inquire with Uncle Francis, the guy in charge, and you can stroll through 4 walls of Christian books and a whirly stand of booklets. They're a bit pricey, but that's not the point.
