Recently, I had the opportunity to review FamilyChristian.com with a $25 certificate. FamilyChristian.com has a wide selection of items from gifts, décor and apparel to books, Bibles and much more! They even sell things for churches and various ministries. If you are looking for something faith based please check out FamilyChristian.com or one of their local stores!
When looking at what to spend my $25 on I took a look at the Bibles that FamilyChristian.com carries. I have been looking for a new Bible for a while and haven’t found anything that was what I was looking for. I was interested in a journaling Bible but nothing stood out in the Bible translations that I preferred until I came across the ESV Journaling Bible: Interleaved Edition w/ strap – Brown Leather at FamilyChristian.com! It has a FULL blank page next to every page of Bible text!!! Most of the other journaling Bibles only have extra wide margins and that wasn’t enough space for me! The other problem that I was running into was the majority of the journaling Bibles had lined margins, which I didn’t want. Sadly, this Bible did not go into my cart due to the cost ($129.99) but it was added to my wishlist!
I love to read and there is a large selection of books to choose from at FamilyChristian.com! You will see all of the books that are sold in stores as well as at FamilyChristian.com. There is not a filter to filter out the items that are sold at stores only so if you do not have a store close by you, you will see many products that are sold in stores only. Here is what I finally decided on buying with my $25. Traces of Guilt by Dee Henderson and The Amish Nanny by Leslie Gould and Mindy Starns Clark. Dee Henderson is one of my favorite authors and this is one of her newest books and The Amish Nanny is the second book in a series called ‘The Women of Lancaster County Series #2’. Since I enjoyed book one I decided to go ahead and get the second book. I am excited to receive them!
Currently, FamilyChristian.com is offering a Buy One Get One 50% off sale on books, music, DVD’s, wall art, jewelry, coloring books, kitchen items, and boxed cards through August 25th. You can mix and match items from different departments and the sale is also available at local Family Christian stores as well. Please check out Summer on the Go to see what is on sale!
Something that I learned about FamilyChristian.com is that in late 2012 they changed from a for profit company over to a non-profit ministry! Here is information on their mission and calling! All purchases help support children and families in need in U.S. as well as around the world. Additionally, while checking out you are given the opportunity to round up your purchase to the nearest dollar or choose an amount of your choice to be donated to their mission!

I’d love to get God’s Not Dead 2 for my son!
I would by a new Bible if I won the contest.
I would buy short bible stories for my 5 year old.
If I won this giveaway, then I would probably buy Heart Hugs for Single Parents or the Power of a Positive Mom for me to read in addition to either the FaithGirlz: London Art Chase or FaithGirlz: Miracle in Music City (Glimmer Girls Series) for my daughter. Thank you for the opportunity.
I would buy Lysa Terkeurst’s new book.
I’ve been eyeing some new coloring books 🙂
I have always enjoyed Family Christian. The Bibles you have fit everyone’s lifestyles. I enjoy reading and can always find something to make me feel good. I am overdue for some notecards because I enjoy sending snail mail and the cards I like to get usually have inspiration on them. Always feel blessed at Family Christian.
I would buy Think Better, Live Better: A Victorious Life Begins in Your Mind Book
Tough call. I’d like to see God’s Not Dead 2, but I often get plush from them for one of my middles’ service projects.
