Family Christian is a company I had never heard of before, but when the opportunity arose to check out the store and receive $25 in products for free, I jumped at the chance. The Christian bookstores that I used to shop at closed years ago. Unfortunately, the closest Family Christian is over 100 miles away. Thankfully, I can browse the FamilyChristian.com website. Though not the same as moseying through a bookstore, it is wonderful to find a site that provides so many different Christian products.

Here, check out these Product Recommendations:

She’s determined to solve them before she leaves town, and Sheriff Gabriel Thane and his family will be key to those answers. Book #1 of the Evie Blackwell Cold Case series.

Includes lead singles “Happiness” and “Money & Fame.”

I had such a hard time deciding what to purchase with my $25 gift code because there are Christian products of all kinds in this store. Besides Bibles, books, music, and movies, you will find Gifts & Decor, Apparel & Jewelry, and Church & Ministry Supplies. Each of the different categories then has many different sub-categories for your shopping pleasure.

It's easy enough to navigate the site and checking out was no problem. All I had to do was create an account and I was all set. The one disappointing this was that I was unable to utilize the Buy 1 Get 1 50% off sale with the $25 Gift Code.

What I really liked was there "Special Order Only" feature. If a product states it is "Special Order Only" it means that the product is not currently in stock, but they will order it directly from the vendor or partner. The books I was interested in getting for Tabitha were all "Special Order Only," so I am still waiting for my product. I plan to give a quick update when we receive them as I am sure you are as curious as I am in regard to how long it will take a special order only order to get processed, shipped, and delivered.

I ended up ordering a mystery series for Tabitha called Boarding School Mysteries. There are four books in this series by Kristi Holl: Vanished, Betrayed, Burned, and Poisoned.

I definitely recommend stopping by FamilyChristian.com to see what you can find.
