The
Light on the Mount Christian Bookshop Project: BOOKS Plus
- is a unique venture bringing Good News to the heart of a busy university
hospital. It aims to enhance the caring environment provided by the hospital
for patients, visitors and staff through the establishment and running of an
attractive, encouraging and caring retail outlet of Christian and general
interest books, and related goods.
Distinctive High Quality Shop
We have been able to open BOOKS
Plus in the superb new concourses at the University Hospital of Wales
and the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and in the East Outpatients of the
Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Whilst in keeping with its high
quality surroundings, the shops are absolutely distinct in their contribution
to the hundreds of thousands of patients, relatives and staff who pass and
enter every year.
The Literature Speaks for Itself
The hard issues of life arising from being in
hospital can sometimes cause people to question the core of what they believe,
and while we don’t claim to have all the answers, we feel sure that some of
them can be found among the books on sale. Our approach is not to preach but
to let the literature speak for itself.
A Resource for the Hospital
BOOKS Plus is a resource
for everyone connected with the hospital whether searching for a gift or
something deeper. At the heart of our activity is an acknowledgement
that in life’s best and worst moments - whatever may bring someone into
hospital - God is with us. He is the God who loves us and has shown that
love in his Son by sharing with us the pleasures and pains of human life.
