PROFILE |
 |
The latest from Danielle Steel or Stephen King is no match for a perennial best-seller found in large supply at Family Christian Stores. The leading Christian retailer in the US, Family Christian Stores has about 360 stores in 39 states. The company (formerly Family Bookstores) sells a variety of Christian-themed merchandise, including Bibles and other books, music, gifts, cards, videos, apparel, toys, and church supplies. Customers can also buy the company's merchandise through its catalog and Web site. Investment firm Madison Dearborn owns 78% of Family Christian Stores; the two companies operate iBelieve.com, a stand-alone venture offering Christian information, events, and merchandise online.
