There is a bookstore in the suburbs of Toronto (Mississauga) called Ontario Christian Books (obviously they sell mainly Christian books). Their website looks very commercial, but visiting the store is a one of a kind experience (Make sure you go to the back section). I lived in Grand Rapids for a time, which is a city that hosts several Christian publishing companies. That being said, I found it very hard to find some of the great theological voices in the stores in that area. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong places. I'll never forget visiting Ontario Christian Books and seeing almost everything that Newbigin had ever written. When I began to talk to Lance (make sure you look him up) he said, "Oh, you like Newbigin? You need to meet this lady over here, her father was baptized by him in India". Many similar experiences which you don't get at a big box store. Anyhow, I've taken up enough space
