This has been so helpful

This has been so helpful for a new Episcopalian to be.Answers so many questions I would be embarrassed to ask for fear of appearing dumber than dirt.

So informative and interesting

My twin sister and I are cradle Episcopalians and are almost 65 years old. The St. Louis Cathedral bookstore came to Christ Church Rolla just before Christmas and I bought both the handbook and the t-shirt for myself. The handbook is so informative and interesting that I bought one for my sister from you and thought I should get her the t-shirt as well. Did I say we are twins? Thank you for you prompt service. I will definately use your services again.

I highly recommend this book for those new to the church or anyone who wants more information about the Episcopal Church. Not dry -- full of fun as well as good information.

Prompt, congenial "home town" service!

Feels like I've known these folks all my life, that their vested interest is in their home town kids! Friends and neighbors! How many times could this be said about an internet business?

The Episcopal Handbook

Being relatively new to the Episcopal Church, The Episcopal Handbook answered all of my questions and included many interesting facts and church history. It will remain in my personal library to refer to for many years to come. Thank you, Episcopal Bookstore, for your great service and quick delivery!
