Christian Book Store Waterbury CT - A Source Of Inspiration

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 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.

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.

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!
