We're in today's Ledger-Transcript! God is good! Hopefully this will direct more folks in our direction and we can bring glory to God by fulfilling our Mission Statement (which is listed above at the top of the site, it was quoted somewhat incorrectly) - spread the word so we can spread His Word!

P.S. Have a safe and happy New Year!

Be Anxious For Nothing...
As we all wind down from this weekend, let's not forget the impact of what occured over two thousand years ago: God came here!
Some updates on what's going on at the Jaffrey Bible House:
1) We've already got some movies on the way to begin our Movie Rental section. After some great feedback and much prayer, we've decided on a $15 one-time payment to join JBH as a member and be able to rent movies for free. We're not Blockbuster and in the spirit of simplicity this really seems like the best choice. One movie at a time for now (later, when there's a greater selection, maybe that'll change). This all kicks off in a couple weeks when all the movies get in.
2) Our hours for New Year's on Friday are 10am-4pm and Saturday 12pm-4pm. If you can make it in on Friday between noon and one o'clock we'll be having prayer time here. Even if you can't, consider being in prayer Friday for all the drivers and "goings on" that take place during this time of year. Pray, too, for those who have a difficult Christmas season due to the loss of loved ones. This can be an especially hard time for them.
3) Speaking of prayer, we're working on getting a Prayer Request section up and running. This will be a great place to post requests and praises or just share what God's laying on your heart. Details to come! In the meantime though, feel free to drop those off on our Facebook site.
4) January can be dismal for small retailers. As a sweet solution we offer to you: Lollipop Coupons. All month, starting this Saturday, we'll have a display of secretly color-coded lollipops to save you 10%, 20% or 30% on any one purchase (this includes special orders!). Rumor also has it that a 40%'er is trying to get in, but we'll see about that...
That's all for now, be blessed!

The Reason For The Season...
Merry Christmas to you all! We certainly serve an awesome God!
We'll be closing today around 4pm for the weekend, but we'll be back open on Monday at 10am. We're still working on getting a few more titles in the Jaffrey Bible House Movie Rental Project (cool name, right?), and that'll be happening sometime in early January. If you have any requests, drop us a line and let us know what you're thinking.
New Year's is still taking shape and nothing's set in stone quite yet. We will definitely have the Lollipop Coupons out though. For those of you unfamiliar with this tasty tradition, it's where we setup about two-dozen lollipops in a display where you can't see the stick. That's because the stick has been color-coded to represent a 10%, 20% or 30% savings of any one in-stock item. Maybe we'll even throw a lovely 40%'er in there for good measure. Naturally it's a kind of once per customer per day thing, otherwise you'd be eating us out of business!
Lastly - be looking in the Ledger-Transcript for something about us! They popped in on Tuesday for some pictures and a write-up for next weeks edition. Pray that local churches catch wind of this and drift our way, and that we can serve them in that Christ-like manner we strive for!
Merry Christmas and blessings in our Lord from Will, Lisha, Elizabeth, Abigail and Hannah!

JBH Member program, and some thoughts on the future...
Something we'd like to implement alongside the movie rentals in January is a Membership Card. This would be a one-time fee to be able to rent movies for $1/week (non-members will be $5/week), receive our monthly newsletter and take part in special sales and promotions. There's a survey over on the left column of the site and we'd appreciate some feedback.
Now let's be honest - the store isn't much to look at right now, we know that. But God is so very clearly building something big here and this is a great way to be a part of it! You don't open a Christian bookstore to make the big bucks - you do it because you want to be an outpost of Christ's kingdom in the community and see His Word go forth (at least that's why we did it anyway)! We eagerly look forward to the day when Jaffrey Bible House can co-sponser/support missions trips and host bible studies, worship concerts and other Christ-focused events. How are we going to get there from here? No idea! Has God blessed this place beyond our wildest expectations? Yes! Do we seek to honor Him every step of the way? Absolutely! Is it difficult for God to cause this ministry to flourish in the face of all odds? Not in the least! That's pretty much what He does, friends!
We also open every day here in prayer, but we do have a time on Fridays (12pm-1pm) of corporate prayer to anyone who wants to stop by. It's a great time to fellowship and see what God's doing in His church, but it's also a great time to praise Him for who He is - our loving Savior and merciful God!
Blessings and tidings of joy in this Christmas season!

A Quick Reminder...
Don't forget - we have gift certificates available! You can get them in any amount and they never ever expire!
Something else to think about: We're going to start a movie rental program in January. We have some titles in mind but if you know of one, or if you want to donate one of your own, please let us know! You can drop us a line on Facebook or just e-mail us at jaffreybiblehouse@myfairpoint.net. Our phone lines are always open too - 603.532.6843!
Blessings!

P.S. Have you heard the rumors about the Jaffrey Bible House New Year's special? No? Well stay tuned then...

Odds and Ends...
For those of you unable to find us, try the link on the right for a Googlemap! If that doesn't work, try this: Imagine yourself at Country Bridals in downtown Jaffrey. You're standing in front of the building looking at all the wonderful bridal gowns and wishing you could see the Jaffrey Bible House. Now... turn around! Do you see us? You should! We are in the same building as Jaffrey Chiropractic, on the left as you look at it.
Also...
It's not too late to get in Christmas orders, though some may say otherwise! Kerusso has a great selection of apparel with awesome designs and scripture, Warnerpress has a ton of church supplies, Anchor and STL have pretty much all the Christian literature you could want - and Anchor even has a decent selection of gifts and jewelry! Just click the links up top to check it out for yourself!
As an update for those in the know (and if you're reading this, now you know): We recently received some copies of Expelled, Beyond the Gates of Splendor, Faith Like Potatoes and some Louie Giglio DVDs. You're welcome to stop by and purchase them of course, but we are hoping this will actually end up being the mustard seed of our video rental program. That'll be kicking off sometime in January, so stay tuned! Let us know if you have any suggestions for titles too - we're always looking for feedback.
Our greeting card selection is growing and at $1 each, it's not surprise we've had the most sales in that department than any other. They're all Dayspring cards, with scripture on the front or inside each one. We've still got a few boxes of Christmas cards left too, including some Really Woolly and Little Inspirations!
Lastly - we've had a few folks wondering about the used books section. If you have any Christ-centered books collecting dust (including fiction) that would bless someone else and you're willing to part with them - bring them by! We'll also take bibles, CDs and DVDs if you have an abundace of those! The used CDs go out at $1 each and the other items average $5 apiece.
That's it for now, we'll leave you with this: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12, 13
Have a blessed day!

Special Orders...
We've had a couple folks asking about special orders, so here's some things to keep in mind:
-When you click on of the links above and find something you like, realize the price through us may be different. Not by much, but Kerusso (for instance) allows you to order direct from them. You'll save a little on the price of your hoodie but you'll end up paying shipping. We don't charge shipping ever - unless we work out some sort of deal with you first.
-You are always free to look things up elsewhere, like http://www.cbd.com/ and then e-mail us a link or print out the page(s) of the item(s) you want. Really all we need is the ISBN-13 or UPC to be able to see if it's something we can get. CBD is similar to Kerusso though, so don't pay too much attention to their price.
-With those two things being said, we are always willing to take a shot at matching or even beating someone else's price. We can't always do that, but we love the opportunity!
-If you have a large quantity of the same items (bible studies, bulletins, tracts, etc.) that you need, we can certainly try to work out a discount. A large quantity is generally five or more. We also give a 10% discount to church purchases! So if your church needs a box of communion cups or a package of baptism certificates they'll save shipping and then some!
-Lastly, we place orders about once a week. This is to eliminate shipping costs. This time of year the rule gets bent a little because we all want our Christmas gifts in by Christmas. It rarely takes more than a week or ten days to get something in though (usually only four or five days).
Thanks so much for your prayers and support! God bless!
