Christian Book Store Waterbury CT

By Marissa Velazquez


A Christian book store Waterbury CT has a lot more to offer than an assortment of copies of the Bible. Walk into one today and you will find a dazzling array of literature on fasting, managing your financial matters based on biblical principles, how and why it is a good idea to speak in tongues, inspiring life stories and much, much more. Here, you will find everything from bookmarks listing the 66 books of the Bible to CDs, DVDs, maps, audio books and more.

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.

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.

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.

There is also quite an impressive Catholic population living in Waterbury (72%). According to statistics gathered by New Haven County, the remaining religious quotient is distributed among Jews (7%), United Church of Christ (5%) and other (16%). There is obviously a sizable market for Christian artifacts, icons and literature here.

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!
