Circuit Rider Books

Your Source for Fine Christian Reading in the Mainline Protestant Tradition

About Our Ministry

Circuit Rider Books is a unique mobile Christian book ministry that serves mainline Protestant churches and their members with book tables at conferences and individual orders. We specialize in books and resources seldom seen in local Christian bookstores, most often those published by mainline Protestant presses such as Abingdon, Augsburg, Chalice, Fortress, Judson, Morehouse, Pilgrim, and Westminster/John Knox. Quality children's books and music from the Taizé and Iona communities are also specialties. Circuit Rider Books is proud to join with non-profit associate The Kerygma Program to provide high-quality, in-depth Bible and theological studies to mainline protestant churches in the Northwest.

One of the hallmarks of Circuit Rider Books during its 20 year history has been its personal service to all its constituents. We plan to continue that tradition with this website: your inquiries and orders will be handled and responded to by a human being who will give personal attention to the needs of your event, your request for information, or your special request.

This results in both benefits and deficits for you. First, and foremost, you will be a person to us, not just a number or an account. You will be able to talk to us and work with us to meet your individual needs. We will be happy to special order any in-print book that you desire. We will take credit card payment information personally, not risk security breaches. However, as a small, personal, service-oriented organization, we cannot anticipate, nor can we stock every item you might desire. You will receive the items you want, but you will not get materials tomorrow.
