Scenes from Campus (Part 2 - The Bookstore)

The RGBI bookstore is considered to be one of the best bookstores to find not only English titles, but ones in Spanish. Bob, the manager, does a wonderful job running the store and has a true ministry heart for getting Spanish materials into missionary's hands at the lowest cost possible.


All language school students are given a 20% discount of off items. Bob can order pretty much anything for us and the bookstore pays the shipping (as a ministry to us).


We have been encouraged to make a list of ministry items throughout the semester that we would like to use in Chile and Bob will make sure to have them on location before we leave for the field. The bookstore's specialty is their large selection of Christian Education materials in Spanish (SS curriculum, missionary stories, and Bible club material).


Besides books and curriculum, the store also has a wide selection of Christian greeting cards, music, DVDs, home decorations, and candy (more on that in another post).


Of course, I am very thankful for the bookstore here on campus. I am carefully making a list of valuable resources that I desire to use in the ministry in Chile. Bob has been very helpful in researching titles for me. I pop into the bookstore after classes several times a week to ask him about more titles in Spanish.

Here are several resources that I am currently pursuing with Bob's help:
-The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus Workbooks (in Spanish)
-The video series "That the World May Know" put out by Focus on the Family (in Spanish). It teaches Faith lessons through Bible geography.
-Firm Foundations workbooks (in Spanish).
-Several Systematic Theologies (in Spanish).
-A nice leather Spanish Study Bible.
