Christian Book Distributors' Books
  Just a quick note, I have a CBD Membership which guarantees me the lowest price on items offered by CBD. So my price for some of the above items might not be the same as what you see when you visit the CBD website.  Just to give you an idea of the savings, the most expensive item that I purchased was $3.99 for a hardcover biography of Johnny Cash.  The least expensive book was $.49. (Yep, less than fifty cents!)  I also picked up a couple of cassette tapes to listen to in my CD Player-less van for $.10 each.  You can get CD's for $.99.  Most of the titles below could be in the Bargain Basement.
