Christian Book Store Waterbury CT

By Marissa Velazquez


There is a lot more going on at a Christian book store Waterbury CT than just selling Bibles. Today's Christian gift and book shops are selling a huge range of books on how to express your faith and become everything you were meant to be. You can find books about fasting, praying in tongues, managing finances the biblical way, inspirational life stories of peoples' journey to Christ and so much more. Multi-media has a big presence, too. They have a wide selection of worship music CDs, audio books and DVDs.

Faith-based fiction is a growing genre in modern literature. Writers artfully weave scripture into conventional themes like westerns and romance. Wendy Alec's "Chronicle of Brothers" is a gripping, non-stop thriller. Be careful reading it, though, it installs itself into your own imagination to the point where you may find yourself directly quoting from its page-turning passages instead of the actual Bible!

Waterbury is a 75 square-mile city in the eastern half of the Connecticut in New England. It straddles the intersection of interstate highways 84 and 691. Situated on the Naugatuck River, it is 77 miles north and east of New York City and 33 miles south of the state capital, Hartford.

With an important heritage in brass-making, Waterbury has earned itself the nickname, "The Brass City." America's leading producer of brass products in the early part of the 20th century, it was described as the "brass capital of the world." It's other major industry was the manufacture of watches and clocks.

Brass from the town was used to make the country's nickels and now also goes into coins from South Africa. Another famous locally-produced product was the one-dollar pocketwatch, made by Robert H. Ingersoll, of which which more than 5 million were sold. Today, the city's brass and time-making heritage is reflected in numerous clock towers and old brass factories.

A major proportion of the town's residents (72%) observe the Catholic faith. New Haven County statistics reveal that the remainder are divided between the United Church of Christ (5%), Judaism (7%) and "other" (16%). This implies that there is quite a market for Christian books, etc.

The oldest standing church in Watertbury is probably the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, a Roman Catholic Church established in 1847. Some visitors have referred to it as Waterbury Cathedral. St Joseph's Church, the first Lithuanian church in the area, was founded in 1894.

Whether you are looking for a good present for a loved one or simply seeking inspiration, a Christian book store Waterbury CT is a great start to find it. Even the most die-hard agnostic will find something to like in a Virgin Mary coffee mug or a St Christopher medal. The geography or history student on your shopping list would appreciate an atlas containing Biblical places, then and now. Finally, there is room on everyone's book shelf or coffee table for a copy of the Holy Bible, the world's No. 1 best-selling book of all time. No matter how long it is left to gather dust, there will always come a time when, whether to settle an argument or find comfort in a crisis, someone will eventually have need to open it up and read it!
