As a nonprofit, we’re blessed to be able to give all of our earnings to Christian charities around the world. We realize you can shop anywhere and we want to share the amazing reasons to choose to shop at Family. For instance, we try to imagine how many times a single product can bless the world. Yes, that little $5 ESV Bible gives a lamp to someone’s soul. But because you bought it at Family, it could also be helping provide a stove for a widow in Guatemala. That small blessing can ripple out to her kids, her community and all the way to Heaven. Every time you generously share Family gifts, it affects families like hers in so many ways.

Willow Tree Nativity We’re delighted to carry the Willow Tree collection. These carved figures express the depth and power of why we celebrate the season through simple and poignant body language. If you haven’t started your collection, this may be the year to get going. It’s a great gift idea too. In-laws love them—especially when they know that your purchase helps another special family in Monterrey, Mexico.

We were amazed and thrilled to hear Matthew West was going to write a song just for Family Christian. OK, everybody gets to enjoy the great new song and CD—but we feel pretty special that he was inspired by something we did. What did we do? We gathered around a simple idea for our Christmas theme: BELIEVE.
