Sacristy Press, who publish history and theology books, is encouraging people to support small independent Christian bookshops who are struggling, premierchristian.news reports. Richard Hilton, one of the founding directors of Sacristy Press, said:

“More people than ever are turning to the big online retailers during the lockdown, but many Christian bookshops are fighting for their survival. Now more than ever they need us to shop with them. They will appreciate any support.

Others have also encouraged Christians to buy religious books from Christian companies to keep them afloat.

Aude Pasquier, Retail Sales Director at Church House Bookshop in Westminster, said: “Like many high-street bookshops, we have been taking orders over the phone and through our website during the lockdown. We are very grateful to Sacristy Press for their vital help and enthusiasm for Christian bookselling in such testing times.”
