Let's Get Right With the Big Dude, Say a Prayer, and Prepare to Get Reincarnated!
Thank you for reading this week's Shop Update. 💖
What a unique collection of books we have to look through today! They are all books centered on faith, philosophy, and religious thought. We've got stuff for the youngest child and the oldest sage, with all kinds of stuff in between!
Let's start with a timeless treasure that always sells quickly: Streams in the Desert 🐪. And a classic Golden Book, Prayers, with art by the beloved Eloise Wilkin 🙏🏻.
You can also find more esoteric titles like this book on yoga and reincarnation 🧘 or this book from 1897 on Eastern religion/philosophy ☯️.
Another highlight is this lovely pocket-sized antique German hymnal 🖤.
For those who love Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, there is this 💙.
There is even a story for the Quakers ✌️!
Two more special books that deserve a shout-out: this beautiful antique book for reading aloud and this antique novel that takes a bite out of the pious with humor.
