About Us
Philip Garside Publishing Limited commenced operations and was registered as a New Zealand private limited company in 1997. Our company is owned and operated by Philip & Heather Garside.
Our Services
Book and Resources sales
Our focus is now on selling print books, eBooks and digital resources (e.g. Worship at Hand) that we write and publish.
These support the worship and devotional needs of clergy, worship leaders, church musicians and church members.
We distribute the New Zealand Hymnbook Trust’s print and PDF music books, and their CD and digital recordings:
We also supply the L3 and Words for Worship digital resources published by the Uniting Church in Australia, the Gathering digital worship resource published by the United Church of Canada, and the print magazine With Love to the World published in Australia.
And we stock our choir Festival Singers of Wellington's CDs and digital albums, and Anna Johnstone's "…Walk" devotional PDF eBooks.
From the start of 2026 onwards, we will no longer import and supply other publishers' print books. [Existing stocks of other publishers' books listed will not be re-ordered when they have sold out.]
Publishing Service
We publish New Zealand books of worship and other resources by New Zealand authors that support customers’ ministries.
In the past we have published non-fiction print books, on progressive/liberal Christian, social justice/history and pacifist topics.
