CEO: 'We have carefully and prayerfully considered every option.'
Family Christian Stores (FCS) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Yet the ministry assured customers yesterday that it "does not expect" to close any of its more than 250 stores or lay off any of its approximately 4,000 employees.
We strive to serve God in all that we do and trust His guidance in all our decisions, especially this very important one, stated FCS president and CEO Chuck Bengochea. We have carefully and prayerfully considered every option. This action allows us to stay in business and continue to serve our customers, our associates, our vendors and charities around the world. [Full announcement below.]
With 266 stores in 36 states, FCS is the nation's largest chain of Christian stores as measured by locations, not sales. (For comparison, LifeWay Christian Resources has 185 stores in 29 states.) In 2014, FCS generated $216 million in gross revenues, notes Randall G. Reese at Chapter 11 Cases.

I did used to love spending a quiet Sunday afternoon browsing in one of the big book stores. A latte at a table was a nice touch.

Ditto here, several decades ago. P&R Books was the name, as I recall.
Many years ago, they were a mall-based chain known as Zondervan Christian Bookstores.
Thanks.. I am pretty tech dumb.. but I have a geeky daughter in law that could probably set this up for me.. One reason I will not use an electronic bible is I love making sermon and Sunday school notes.. THIS could solve my problem :)
Zondervan I heard of.
I just like the feel of a book in my hands.
I do use my iPad when traveling as there’s often nothing else and it gives me a wide variety to choose from for reading materials.
I am looking for a book on the Magog Invasion any suggestions?
Ezekiel 38-39 in scripture. I know Chuck Missler has one out but I have not read it. It's available on Amazon for cheap and the reviews are pretty good.
