My favorite place to purchase hard copy Christian books is Cumberland Valley Bible Book Store in Carlisle, Pa.

CVBBS carries books, devotional’s and commentaries with a Reformed perspective. If you are ever near Carlisle, Pa., I highly recommend you stop by their store in downtown Carlisle. They are located at 133 Hanover Street. And while you there, you can literally run around the corner and down the block to Banner of Truth.

Now if you are like me, you may read just about everything on your iPad. I much prefer using my Kindle app on my iPad for reading, compared to reading a hard copy book. Unfortunately, this means that I don’t purchase many books from Cumberland Valley Bible Book Store any more.
