Welcome to Craig Lock’s Book Shoppe in New Zealand!

A few years ago, I developed a mission statement for my work and life that has really helped me to focus on what I want to accomplish with my life. “In my own small way, I hope my published (and perhaps spoken) words reach out to touch, help, reassure, strengthen, support and inspire.

My life mission is through my writing to inform, illuminate, uplift, delight and hopefully even inspire people around the world by sharing my life experiences and thoughts… through empowering others to be the best person they can possibly be through my words, actions and life.”

The activities that have given me the most personal fulfillment, and through which I achieve a feeling of importance (my “calling or purpose”, if you will), are those things through which I share my knowledge and insights with others. I’ve been able to achieve that through my “passion” for words in the form of the books I’ve written.

I see myself primarily as a salesperson and compassionate capitalist, “selling” hope, faith and love (well isn’t that the only form of security we as humans can attain in an ever-changing and uncertain world?)
