Great to hear from you and to hear...Hi May,<br /> Great to hear from you and to hear that you are still working for the Lord. Like many others I owe you a huge spiritual debt for all the encouragement and counsel you gave during my first faltering steps with the Lord.During your time the Bookshop was really a mission station where the gospel was faithfully expounded and explained during a time when God was working powerfully in our city. Hope to meet you when you next visit,<br /> GerryDew of Hermonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823108222604309844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174369426584980276.post-58877300353373600962011-02-09T23:31:26.372+00:002011-02-09T23:31:26.372+00:00Gerard:

(ESV)<br />Maybe it's time for something new. How about this for a new idea? A friend and I, sponsored by our church, buy Bibles on sale from CBD.com, and go to the mall regularly to sell them. Some people stop by to chat, question, others tease, and some buy. We notice children have a special interest in the Bible story books. Because we are non-profit (from a human perspective), the mall doesn't charge us for this privilege.<br /> <br />Your article and the comments that have been posted, brought back my time in Ireland very vividly. <br />Thank you very much to all for your fellowship. <br /> <br />Looking forward to seeing you all again in the "new Ireland" which will surely be there when He who is seated <br />on the throne makes "all things new".

As a young believer I too really appreciated dropping in for a chat/discussion with May Reader on my way home from school. Many of us owe so much to her for her faithfulness and patience as we thrashed out "hot potatoes" over a cuppa! Maybe it's time to revisit the coffee shop idea Gerry!Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174369426584980276.post-74679844056732232112011-01-21T15:11:53.892+00:002011-01-21T15:11:53.892+00:00I will miss the LCBookshop as I have fond memories...I will miss the LCBookshop as I have fond memories of those that managed it down through the years.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not - but a lot of the bookstores here are more like "Coffee Houses" where they more or less offer coffee, WiFi access, and places to sit and read or socialize. They also sell books, but that's a lot like the major chain bookstores here in America. Maybe someone will offer a great suggestion.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955185309086728925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174369426584980276.post-50498743590876576422011-01-20T18:51:54.161+00:002011-01-20T18:51:54.161+00:00I’m sorry to hear that.I’m sorry to hear that.Brendan Askinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174369426584980276.post-7406014079005658802011-01-20T18:47:55.838+00:002011-01-20T18:47:55.838+00:00Shame about bookshop.

We will miss it surely. But these are such changed times- easy access to the internet being one aspect of that.<br /><br />May Reader will enjoy & appreciate your article & kind words. She has so many happy memories & so many appreciative friends in Limerick & farther afield.<br /><br />Appreciation & gratitude is due to the other managers: Mary Finnegan, Tim O'Connell & of course to Jim & Barbara King. Best wishes to them for a long & happy retirement.Wynnoreply@blogger.com
