This company was the best company for over 40 years, until it was sold. The original owner was amazing, they cared about their customers. Since it was sold it has gone down hill tremendously. It's so sad that the new owners completely destroyed a business that was built from the heart. They should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder what the original owner feels about this let alone the employees that I'm sure have been there for so many years. Not only have you ruined this companies reputation but I'm sure you have destroyed the employees morale as well. I hope Christianbook can come back from this and god willing someone else takes over to put this company back on the map.
I ordered a bible from South Africa and after 6 weeks it still hadn't arrived, so I emailed customer service and they replied that they sent me a replacement right away. It's been a few months now and I still haven't received my order.
In December 2024, we purchased a book and somehow ended up enrolled in a subscription service. We think it might have been for free shipping, but we don't remember for sure. When we finally noticed the charges—our fault for not catching them earlier—I contacted their help desk. To their credit, they fully refunded all the charges. However, it still bothers me because it seems that many people are inadvertently tricked into signing up. You have to spend $15,932 just to break even. I suppose if one is diligent, you could make this work.
ChristianBookRewards is a scam. We never signed up for it yet charges showed up shortly after we purchased two bibles there. I have attempted multiple times to cancel and the charges keep showing up. We finally got the fraud team at Chase involved, and they were able to place a block on this merchant, and refund three months worth of charges. There appears little that is "Christian" about this scammy merchant. I'd give them a MINUS FIVE STARS if the system let me (1 is the lowest).
Bottom line, beware this merchant!
Somehow I was unintentionally enrolled in the Christian **** Rewards program. The program charged me $16.95 a month for 6 months. When I reached out to the company, they cancelled the account, but said that I agreed to the charges, which I would never have done.
This company is underhanded and unethical. Somewhere in the fine print whenever you purchase a book or another item you become enrolled in there "Rewards" program. The cost of this is almost $20 per month. It would be interesting to know how much money they have made off of unsuspecting people using his practice. Do not buy anything from this company! I know they will ultimately pay for what they have done.
Bought over $100 worth of merchandise and entered code for "Free shipping on orders over $100" and only to find out they fraudulently signed me up for $16.95 per month rewards club. Unfortunately I am not the only the only one this has happened to and I will be filing a class action suit.
If you purchase an item from them, they will do a monthly charge of 15$ from your checking account without your knowledge. You have to cancel your discount, but first they take your money.
Be careful shopping in this site. You may unwittingly get enrolled in a rewards program that will charge you 14.95 a month. In my opinion, this is a total scam. Buyer Beware!
I ordered a book called "Believers Baptism," edited by Shreiner. The book itself did come in, but afterward, I was unknowingly signed up for a subscription. When I tried to cancel, they would not email me back. I tried to call, but the phone was always "busy." I ultimately had to cancel my card because of this. Do not fall for this and go with more trustworthy online stores.
I purchased 2 book and was unknowingly signed up for a monthly Subscription charging me $16 and some change. I have disputed the charges. Please review Better Business reviews before buying.
BOO CHRISTIANBOOK.COM BOO!
Service was speedy and efficient. Books were in fabulous condition and will certainly be something I treasure.
Chistianbook.com will sell your product that they don't have! Then, while you are waiting for your product, they will send you a notice if they don't have it and tell you a future date when your product can be in and then update it again to a further future. After a year of waiting, I canceled my order. Extremely disappointing.
THIS WAS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!
I would just like to take a moment and write a brief review on a book. I ordered here from Stacy l Lyn Harris Love language of the south
Whether you are familiar with her or not, you need to get this book. It is an in-depth look at the life of Stacy Lynn and her recipes my favorite, being granny, southern fried chicken the photos are spectacular, professionally done, tremendous insight into this woman and chef and entrepreneur and wonderful Christian lady, do yourself a favor and buy this book I assure you you will not be disappointed. You can find her as the host of the sporting chef.!
I've been buying on line from ChristianBook going on three years and never had a problem with this company I did a lot of my Christmas shopping on line last year with them and saved me a lot of time and money, I got free shipping and packages were mailed to my love ones so I didn't have to deal with the stores and post office
Thank you ChristianBook
Straight to the point.
This is my first order and last from this business. They charged the amount, and later I received an email saying that my product was on hold until I called them back to verify the billing address. So after they charged to my bank account? Umm, It's crazy. At the end of the day, I requested a cancellation order because I don't have time to be calling for something already processed but on hold. Conclusion: Go to another place to buy to save time.
Thanks
I bought an ACT prep guide from this website back in June. I just noticed today that they've been charging me $15.00/mo since for a discount membership that I NEVER signed up for. It was obviously done automatically. When I called their customer service number to inquire what the charge was and ask how I enrolled in the discount program the representative was not sympathetic and very matter of fact. This is a very shady practice for a company claiming to be "Christian". Be careful when ordering from this company.
BUY'S YOUR INFO FROM GOD KNOWS WHO AND SOLICITS YOU! SCAM SCAM SCAM...NEVER ENDING CATALOGS AND SOLICITATIONS...IF YOU DID NOT CONTACT THEM, AND YOU DID NOT BUY FROM THEM, THEY SHOULD NOT SEND YOU ANYTHING...THEY ADMITTED TO ME THEY BOUGHT MY INFO FROM SOME OTHER POS COMPANY SOLD THEM MY INFO...THEY ARE SCUM!

We ordered a school curriculum and we received the wrong book. They apologized and resent the order and then resent the same wrong book again. Now we are two weeks late on the curriculum we need. They said they would send the order with two day shipping and now we get an email that they had their inventory wrong and they cannot fill the order at this time. We called to complain and their was no effort to correct the problem. They simply did not care and when we explained what happened and said we were going to leave a negative review they simply said "ok" with no apology or effort to rectify the problem. Very poor customer service. Very disorganized. This is the second time we've had problems with them listing inventory they don't actually have. We will not support this business again. They have lost us as a customer!
Ordered a few books for homeschooling. The books are new, I paid like $4 extra for faster shipping and they arrived within 4 business days. Customer service was great. Every single time I called, they answered and received a response back from emails. I was hesitant due to the bad reviews but decided to give it try. I had a good experience and will be ordering more from them. Hope this review is helpful.
