I Went to a Christian Book Festival (St Andrews Literature Festival 2024)

A big thank you to St Andrew’s Bookshop in Great Missenden for the warm welcome we received at their first Christian Literature Festival. God-willing this will become an annual event and Christ will continue to be glorified!

Watch my accompanying reading vlogs:

In this vlog I recommend these books:
- Guns to God by Claud Jackson
- Lydia by Paula Gooder
- How to Talk About Jesus Without Looking Like an Idiot by Andy Bannister

Check out my playlists:

What a lovely location for a book festival!! I'm so thankful you got to experience this. I feel inspired through your vlog. I think sometimes (for me at least) it's easy to feel isolated as a Christian in the world of modern media, books, movies, etc. when so much of it is secular, but even when it seems hidden, there is a community of Christian creatives and storytellers using their talents to further God's kingdom. This video is a great reminder to me that, by God's grace, this community exists <33 I can't wait to see your writing become a part of it. Thanks for sharing your trip!

Aah! I would totally love to go there! Love the comment about the rainbow flag! I will forever love the phrase I saw on a tee at the Ark Encounter gift shop- “Taking Back the Rainbow!” It is a symbol of promise, not pride, which is man’s folly.

As I'm commenting you're probably just arriving home God willing Lydia!
Loved experiencing this with you through the vlog. When I first heard about apologetics my reaction was quite like Andy's. So his book is definitely on my reading list. Would you know if it's being published on 10ofthose at all? Some of the best apologetics books I've read have been ones you've already recommended Lydia- Mere Christianity, Seeking Allah finding Jesus. But I have also loved reading "can we trust the Gospels", and your verdict on the empty tomb by Val Grieve.
Thank you for taking us with you. 😊
