I was given a $25 gift card to Family Christian in exchange for an honest review about my shopping experience. The great news is that they’re giving away another gift card to one of my readers!! You’ll find a Rafflecopter giveaway at the bottom of the page.
First of all, let’s talk SUMMER SALE!!! Family Christian has a HUGE BOGO half off on several of their products. You’re allowed to mix and match products from different departments. Just look for the sunflower while you’re shopping!
Sale is going on now through August 25th so shop your local store or Family Christian online.
Do you wanna peek into my shopping cart? 😉 I’ll show you what I found. I picked up Open Heaven/ River Wild Hillsong cd, the For I Know the Plans coloring book for my mom, and My Favorite KJV Verse to Color coloring book for myself.
My Shopping Experience: The site was easy to shop and the sale items were clearly marked. I found the shipping prices to be VERY reasonable. Everything shipped out quickly. But one of my favorite things about Family Christian is their commitment to giving back. They’re a non-profit company, which means instead of taking and keeping a healthy profit, they hand out. So it’s shopping with a purpose and that’s something that I can stand behind.

Hey it meeee Pam. I have always enjoyed Family Christian Bookstore, it’s funny but everyone knows my name when I go in. I mostly look for Inspirational books when I shop, I use my coupons to help me out.
My wish list is to finish finding all of Mary Connealy books and the KJV coloring book. I didn’t know they had coloring books.
I have ordered a book online and had it shipped to the store. No shipping fees and you can use your coupon, if you have one.
Thanks, Lucky Charms
