Messengers Bookstore is a Christian bookshop at 308 Heretaunga Street West in Hastings, which describes itself as locally owned and operated. The shop serves the Christian community across Hawke's Bay and says it carries on the work of the Christian bookshops that have served the region before it. Its range covers Bibles, devotionals, inspirational gifts and church supplies, for all ages. Among its stock are Bible cases in vegan leather with Christian art designs in several sizes. The website says its selection is in the same spirit as Manna Christian Stores, and the shop offers a contact form for questions about products and orders.
Messengers runs a supporters club, which gives members exclusive discounts and invites them to supporters club evenings at Easter and Christmas, with finger food and complimentary gift wrapping. The shop describes its aims as spiritual nourishment, a welcoming place to connect, and high-quality products. For someone in Hastings or wider Hawke's Bay who wants a Bible, a devotional or a faith-based gift, the shop is a local place to look.
