Lemuria Books Tim

All you need to know about Jackson's Tim ... - Lemuria Bookstore Blog

John Evans has always a very clear business plan, to make Lemuria the best bookstore he can for our community, the best bookstore for Jackson, MS. For us that has been a lot of different things – a great environment, a well chosen selection, first editions for the collector, and in recent years a dynamic website and blog. John’s goal to give Jackson a great bookstore is also why we have all of theses book signings and readings you’re always hearing about. The chance to meet and hear a great literary writer read from his or her book is a wonderful experience – we often have prize winning authors, but we also have lesser known authors who are up and coming or who have written great books and of course we have a lot of non-fiction book signings as well, history, philosophy, etc.

All of this to say that we are thrilled to be able to bring Dr. Timothy Keller to Jackson. It seems that everywhere I go someone asks me about this event, but for those of you who don’t know Tim Keller’s work he is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York – a church that has more than 5000 in attendance each Sunday. He has also published 5 books in the last four years all with Penguin Putnam – the first, The Reason for God , reached number seven on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list.
