For those of you who know me well, you know that I am a book lover. My most prized posessions (outside of Bertha the bassoon) are my antique books inherited from my grandfather. I will take a free book ANY day of the week and entering a bookstore with any form of cash, debit card, etc is dangerous for me if I don't have strict rules laid out about how much money I can spend before entering. I LOVE BOOKS!
Enter Hearts and Minds Bookstore. An independent, family owned bookstore in Dallastown, PA where Byron and Beth Borger share books with there customers (who they regulary refer to as their friends) on faith, culture, literature, politics - you name it, they've got it. This is what they say about themselves on their website:
"Welcome to a bookstore which attempts to create a new space for serious, reflective readers. Unabashedly Christian, we are often told that we are different than most religious bookstores. Our name, we trust, gives a good first clue to what we are about.
What distinguishes us most is our enthusiasm for the development of a uniquely Christian worldview where Christ’s Lordship is honored and lived out in relevant ways in the midst of our highly secularized, post-modern culture. We offer quality books for the sake of faithful Christian living. We serve business folk, scientists, artists, college students, moms, dads (and kids!), pastors, poets and politicos. We believe Biblical faith leads to "thinking Christianly" about every area of life."
So great. Every year Byron publishes a 'best of ______' list consisting of the best books from the previous year in different categories. If you love books, you'll want to read this! Go here: http://www.heartsandmindsbooks.com/booknotes/ to read more!
