About Us
Mission Statement
To present the best of Christian reading to the public at the lowest prices possible so as to equip the Body of Christ and evangelize the world with the good news of Jesus.
How We Got Here
Overstock Christian Books began in 2002 as a small family business in Shelbyville, KY called Thee Book Shoppe. As the business grew and changed, we decided to move the business entirely online, bringing our ever-growing selection of Christian books, bibles, and reference materials available worldwide at incredibly low prices.
We’ve been online since 2004 and recently launched our new site, adding new inventory, site features, and an affiliate program for churches.
How We Do It
It’s no secret how we are able to offer such low prices on our books. We buy overstock books directly from publishers. Simply, this means that someone ordered more books than they could sell, and returned to the publisher what they couldn’t sell. When this happens, the books are marked “overstock.”
To prevent these new-condition books from wasting away in a warehouse, publishers sell them to folks like us at a discounted cost, which affords us to resell them at such amazing prices.
What Makes Us Different?
We believe our prices and selection stand out through our easy-to-use website. Everything is priced up to 70% below publisher’s prices, and we think that’s an amazing deal. Wouldn’t you agree?
Our Product
Overstock Christian Books is one of the fastest growing privately held companies in North America providing overstocked products at incredible discounted prices. Our books are new books that the publisher sells-off in volume to reduce excess inventory. Sometimes the publisher printed too many copies, in other cases bookstores purchased too many copies from the publisher and have returned them to the publisher.
Our entire inventory is listed on this web site. The inventory quantities are shown in real-time. Each time an order is completed, our inventory is accordingly reduced. This assures you of viewing accurate information of our stock and results in high order fulfillment rates.
We stand behind all products at Overstock Christian Books. We guarantee the product you receive is structurally sound and good for reading.
