Christian Book Store Waterbury CT

By Marissa Velazquez


There is more to a Christian book store Waterbury CT than meets the eye. The Christian book shops of today are selling a wider range of gifts and literature than ever before. While, obviously, they still sell the No. 1 best selling book of all time, The Bible, you will also find books about managing money, speaking in tongues, fasting and just figuring out how to life a clean and righteous life in a sinful world. Here, you will also find religious artifacts, audio books, worship CDS, DVDs and other related gifts and products.

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, 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.

Nicknamed, "The Brass City, " and the a motto is, translated from Latin is something along the lines of, "what lasts longer than brass?" These reflect on the the city's massive contribution to industry in the early half of the 20th century, when it was the nation's leading center for the manufacture of brassware. It was, in fact, the "Brass capital of the world." Waterbury was also noted for manufacturing clocks and watches.

The nation's nickels were made using Westbury brass, which is now also minted into South African coins. A rock star timepiece of its day, Robert H. Ingersoll's one-dollar pocket watch was a major hit, selling 5 million units. Today, you can still see the city's rich heritage of these two industries displayed in old brass factories and clock towers.

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 church structure in town is the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. This Roman Catholic cathedral was founded in 1847. Some people refer to the Basilica as Waterbury Cathedral. A close second-oldest church is St Joseph's, founded in 1894. It has the distinction of being the first Lithuanian church in the city.

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!
