If you plan to buy something from them, or if you just want to look around, we encourage you to use OUR links to their site. We will earn a percentage of every dollar you spend to go toward our adoption expenses.
You may use their search box located below if you're looking for something specific, OR you can link to one of their other specialty shops using the links in orange.
I've also included links and descriptions of some of our family's favorite books and some of our favorite music. We hope you enjoy looking around.
Thanks!

How does my site get credit for referring a customer to Christianbook.com?
When a customer clicks to Christianbook.com via a link that you have created using our Affiliate Link Builder, the browsing session is activated. Each time that the customer clicks on the web site the session is reactivated. The Christianbook Group will track merchandise purchases that a customer makes during the browsing session so that we can credit your account appropriately.
The browsing session will remain active for four (4) hours after the last link is clicked on the Christianbook.com website. If the customer leaves the Christianbook.com website and returns within this four (4) hour period their browsing session will be reset and the customer will still be deemed a referral of Affiliate unless they returned through the links of another Affiliate, co- branded site or other source tracked by The Christianbook Group.
All items placed into the customer’s shopping cart during an active affiliate browsing session will be credited to Affiliate if items are purchased before the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date an item was placed in the shopping cart.
However, if they leave the site for more than 4 hours, do not click on the Christianbook.com site to reactivate the clock, do not order books placed within an active browsing session within their book bag and order within the 30 day limit or leave the site and place the order from another computer, then any order placed will not be credited to your account.
What happens to orders that are placed through inactive affiliate links, after the 4 hour browsing session time or after the 30 day book bag period has expired?
Any order placed under these circumstances will not be credited to the affiliate account. The Christianbook Group is not responsible for any fees lost.
Are there any other times when an order will not receive affiliate fee credit?
Affiliate fee credit is based on the Net Sales Price which is the gross revenue less sales taxes, duties, other taxes, shipping fees, handling fees, service charges, returns, and other charges incurred by the Customer.
No fee will be credited to the Affiliate for the purchase of gift certificates, imprinting, membership fees or other non-merchandise sales.
No fee will be credited to sales made using a CBD promotional coupon or special offer code.
