Slow Faith Books

For the past ten years or so, I’ve been collecting second and third copies of books I love, books that model the kind of stuff Slow Faith wants to emulate. It’s my dream to someday own a mobile bookstore filled with books like these.

As a tiny, tiny step towards accomplishing this, I want to start sharing my books here. This is a pay-what-you-want model. If the title is listed below, that means it is available to purchase. Just DM me with the title you want, and I’ll send you my Venmo and mail it your way.¹²³

1. Unfortunately, this is only available in the US at this time. I’m sorry international friends!

2. I apologize if you DM me a title that has been taken. I’ll do my absolute best to be quick to take down the book if it is sold!

3. I’ve linked to Amazon, not because I am a fan but because they are a great place to read about the book and check out reviews. However, I cannot guarantee the cover will match the Amazon picture!
