LifeWay Christian Bookstore

Decent little Christian bookstore. Actually seemed like a Christian version of a Hallmark store. Had a pretty good selection of Christian books, although they didn’t have anything I was actually looking for. I did end up buying a nice small group study by Craig & Amy Groeschel, so it wasn’t a total loss. I’d go back if I was looking for a Christian item. They had a decent size Spanish language aisle for those that are looking for a bible or other Christian book etc in Spanish. They also have a little section of Christian themed gifts, little knick knacks etc.

This store has an ample selection of Christian and family-​oriented books, DVDs and CDs as well as greeting cards and gifts (similar to what you might find in a Hallmark store). And, of course, Bibles. Lots and lots of Bibles.
I came in looking for a specific item for my niece which is admittedly difficult to find (a pre-​marriage workbook… in Spanish). Staff here was very friendly and helpful. Although they didn’t have what I wanted in stock they diligently spent time searching and offered alternative suggestions. Great store!

We as Christians have to be one church in this day. When I asked the sales clerk for a New American Catholic bible, she said «we don’t have any Catholic supplies in this store». As a Christian and a Catholic my heart was saddened. When this store was Bereans I bought several New American bibles over the years. Definitely won’t be returning to Lifeway.

Great service! Don’t shop online — shop local!!!

Impressive! The most impressive customer service I’ve experienced in years. I placed an order over the phone and received a tracking number. After a few days I became curious as to the whereabouts of my order. I called and the package had been misplaced. The clerks said it would be overnight mailed to me. The next thing I knew my doorbell rang and it was one of the store clerks personally driving and delivering the purchase. She explained her concern using overnight delivery on a weekend. Amazing! Thank you.

Love this place. They moved into Tustin as there has been quite a bit of turnover lately in the center. Discount shelf is amazing with great value and with surprisingly good selections.
Staff is extremely kind and helpful. A rarity in our society today. An un-​ending selection of bibles, devotionals and personal-​growth books. Their section of gifts, statues, clothing, etc. is also very tasteful and very much in-​line with all the trends of our culture :)
Glad to see more Christian stores popping up! Great value and very close to home!

Discovered this book store while looking through my parents’ mail. Members get coupons every month, and since my parents weren’t using it. Boo yea! Mine now!
Lifeway is located inside the Market Place next to Toys R Us (not Babies R Us) and the Wine store. Employees are really friendly and helpful.
I love how they always have good sales, good prices, Lifeway Exclusives (esp their mixed CDs esp for members), and pre-​buys! Sad they’re not open on Sundays, but hey, I wouldn’t like to work on Sundays either!

Great place to get books on sale or if you just don’t want to wait for amazon to ship to you.
My friend got a great deal on a study bible.
They also have coupons pretty often so keep an eye out for those!
They categorize their books by very specific topics. If you can’t find your book in a specific aisle, look at the aisle markers to find another category where it might fit. It might be there.

I found this store completely by chance, I was looking for a beauty supply store up the street. As soon as I saw it, I let out a YYEEAAHH!!! I’d been meaning to go to a Christian store to get a NOTW sticker for the back of my new car, but the one that was closest to my house closed.
I was greeted right off the bat by a woman at the counter and was then greeted again by a young man who came out from the back room. I literally heard the young man walking around the store and checking in with people to see if they needed help.
I not only found the sticker I wanted, but I also found a yard stake (for a flag) for cheaper than ones I saw on Amazon and it looked like it was nicer quality (darker finish, thicker metal, etc.)
There was only one woman being checked out when I walked to the front, but the young man came over and opened the second register to ring me up. He and the woman working at the counter were just super friendly and genuine.
I signed up for their mailing list and will absolutely go back there for my shopping needs. You don’t get that level of customer service from a website.

ALRIGHT… finally a Christian bookstore in the Irvine area.
I’ve been here a few times lately and have really liked my experience here. I’m used to Berean and Family Christian bookstores. I’m mostly into music when I go to a Christian bookstore and didn’t expect this place to have a good selection. But I was wrong. NICE SELECTION!!! And the organization of it was great too. This music section is a big portion reason why it gets 5-​stars
The other reason for the 5-​star is the service. EVERYBODY SMILES!!! EVERYBODY GREETS YOU WARMLY!!! You truly feel like it’s authentic, and I believe it. I even had to call in to check on an album and they were INCREDIBLY helpful.
Glad this store has been added to the Market Place.

Outstanding selection. They had a miniature wallet sized Spanish complete bible on hand ready for me to take on a last minute mission trip to Guatemala. I couldn’t find it, but one of the kind girls helped me find it in no time. My kids ran around the store and had a great time checking out the fun Veggie Tales video in play. Couldn’t be happier that this store is in my neighborhood.

I took a Bible that I did not purchase here to have it imprinted w/​name and they said «we can’t do it because we don’t offer that Bible…». The real truth is «They didn’t get the markup from one of their Bibles so they wont do imprinting for other Bibles where they don’t make a ton of $$ on it. Think 212% retail from wholesale. I won’t be shopping here again and will tell all the people I know not too either.

I walked in and wasn’t greeted by the lady working because she was too busy talking in deep conversation to a customer which okay I can understand. Sounded like she was sharing some meaningful story at the counter. I needed help finding valentines for my kids and I only saw a small display near the counter so I wanted to ask if they had anymore. I start searching around to make it obvious I was maybe needing some help. After more time went by I finally said «excuse me» and the lady working there looked at me and just said «oh just a minute» and went on with her conversation with the customer at the counter. Really lady? She couldn’t take 10 seconds to answer my question. Five minutes go by and I’m just fed up and get one of the choices near the counter. The customer finally leaves and then the lady goes to a bookshelf and remembers she needs to help me so she casually says «did you need help with something?» and I say no not anymore. I paid for my item and left. I am used to people in Christian stores –or any store for that matter– putting the needs of helping customers before chit chatting.
I don’t even want to go back because I feel that older lady was so rude.

Great Christian book store. Staff was helpful and friendly. Good selection of books and home décor. Store is a bit small but they were willing to order what they did not have. I will definitely be back.

Great place to go for all your christian needs. It is a little small in size, but the deals on CD’s, DVD’s and books makes up for that. I am here often since it is near my work. Please note that this is a christian based store, which means it is closed on Sunday. The staff are always friendly and ready to help you with all your needs. Great store.

This place is great! The staff there is so friendly and willing to help you with anything. I went in looking for a gift and they did just that. They gave me great ideas. Im glad we have a good Christian store around now.
