Hi, I want to thank you for visiting our website. I hope that your experience here will be enjoyable and that it is user-friendly. I imagine you’re wondering what “Certain Books” means. Here’s a little background:
As a child, I loved to read. So much so, that my reading habit interfered at times with the activities of daily life. I read the whole set of biographies of famous people from our small-school library. Often, I read while walking the scant 1/2 mile distance from school to home. When I arrived home, I’d go straight to the couch and continue reading, oblivious to the requests of my mother to help out with the household chores. I am thankful that the books that were available to me were wholesome books.
As I matured I learned to enjoy and value books that were based on truth, informative, inspirational, and spiritually sound. Then I landed a job at a Christian book store. I enjoyed the years spent in various tasks from customer service to accounting. By the time I was managing a Christian book store a situation came up that changed my course. One of the books that was provided by our publisher taught as the desired method to “satisfy our soul’s hunger”, the techniques used in Eastern meditation. This became such a concern for me that ultimately it led to a parting of the ways. As only a manager, I did not have the final say as to the books that were sold in that store.
Consequently, my husband, Wesley and I decided to open our own store. That’s where the name “Certain Books” came in. We intend to carry only books that reflect truth.
