Grace &Truth books began from humble beginnings. It stemmed from a desire of one family, husband and wife and their four children, to own a Christian bookstore. They started out as a small Christian book distributor in 1993/1994. Since then, they have grown into a large distributor of Christian books worldwide. They have published over 80 books themselves. They have brought back the heritage of good Christian moral books from the shelves of history. They are the largest distributor of Christian character books for children from the 1800’s.
Grace & Truth Books offers free shipping on orders of $50 or more. They offer a discount off of retail. They have many great titles you won’t find in other bookstores. Be sure to stop in and check out all they have to offer to meet your homeschool needs.
I am really excited to find a company that cares so much about what children are reading and the impact this has on their life. My 12 year old son agrees these books are filled with valuable life lessons and he has really enjoyed reading them. I am looking forward to sharing these books with all five of my sons. They are a great addition to our personal library and for use in our homeschool. These books contain timeless values for today’s generation.
