What is in your hand? God once asked Moses this profound yet simple question. God obviously understood the answer, but did Moses? In his hand he held a simple shepherd staff that would part the Red Sea waters! Do we like Moses really hear the invitation to enter into a personal relationship based on truth and trust with God Himself? The Kingdom of God on earth becomes a reality when we open our hearts and hands to this question and partnership.

In 1987, Sara and Glen Collison moved to Kalamazoo and bought a condemned property! After six months of hard work, their renovated nineteenth century Southwest Michigan farmhouse became a twelve-bed licensed foster care home for adults with developmental disabilities. By 1990, SHALOM Inc. was born. God places us on the journey to discover what He designed just for us, what will give a sense of wholeness and peace. God was at work in 1963-Sara's Jewish father disowned her when she chose to follow Christ. Sara recalls, "My mom, however, would not interfere, because I was given back to God when I was severely burned and my life hung in the balance when I was only two years old [1946]. A little wool coat saved my life!" Now in 2018, SHALOM raises sheep and Sara notes, "You see not a single experience is wasted in God's spiritual kingdom." God uses what we already possess (talent, influence, skills, resources, circumstances, health/sickness) to do what we were created to do.

As with Moses, God still proposes, "What is in your hand?" A shepherd staff? How about a flower shop? A grocery store? A poor farm with dairy cows? Sheep? Goats? Nursing skills?-Yes! The Collisons gave all that to God and in return, they found their journey toward shalom!

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
