Find Your Inspiration At A 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 fictional novels are a new an rapidly growing segment of modern literature. Christian principles are woven into everything from westerns to love stories. If you are looking for a family saga cum murder trilogy thriller, you will find it.

Waterbury, the "Brass City, " is located in east Connecticut, where it occupies 75 square miles. Situated on the Naugatuck River, it is evenly distributed interstate highway 691 meets I-84, making it extremely easy to find. New York City lies 77 miles southwest, while the state capital, Hartford, is 33 miles north.

Waterbury, the "brass capital of the world" in the first half of the century, bears the motto " Quid Aere Perennius?" which means something like "brass is eternal." Brass is such a huge part of the city's heritage that it bears the nickname, "The Brass City." Another major industry at one time was the manufacture of quality timepieces.

Vestiges of the city's brass and clock-making glory days are seen in numerous clock towers dotted around along with old factories that once made brass castings, finishings and other assorted ornaments. Robert H. Ingersoll sold more than five million copies of his famous one-dollar pocket watch. Waterbury brass was, at least at one time, used to make the nation's nickels and may now be found in coins in South Africa.

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.

For those who have lost direction and are seeking inspiration, or someone who is trying to find the right present for a friend or loved one, a Christian book store Waterbury CT is an ideal place to begin their search. Who wouldn't love a St Christopher medal or a coffee mug bearing an inspirational scripture from the world's No. 1 best-selling book, the Holy Bible. Whether you end up with a grand family Bible or a modest paperback, whether it sits for ages untouched, someone, at some time, looking to settle a bet or seeking comfort at a sad time, is sure to pick it up and open it!
