Welcome to
Grapevine Books!
About us:
We are a unique Christian bookstore offering a sacred space
for the young and mature alike, to educate, challenge, and inspire them about
faith matters for daily living in a casual environment with coffee and
conversation. We offer quality books, Bibles, and other Christian
resources. We invite you to check us out.
Why the name "Grapevine
Books"? Grapevine books is founded on the words of Jesus
recorded in the Gospel of John 15:4-5: "No branch can bear fruit by
itself; it must remain in the vine... I am the vine; you are the
branches."
Our collection:
We carry Bibles and biblical reference books, study
guides and curriculum series, Christian music and book CDs, fiction and non-fiction,
greeting cards, gifts and seasonal items. In the future we plan to carry
distinctive jewelry, Christian magazines, and children's toys. We also plan
to expand our CD and book collections.

• Why buy from Grapevine Books?
Grapevine Books was originally financed
by Vienna Presbyterian Church. Over time it hopes to become a
self-supporting branch of this church's ministry. Once the initial
investment is repaid to VPC, all net surpluses from the bookstore sales shall be
used to support the Perkins Memorial adult library, The Pond children's library,
and VPC's mission efforts around the globe.
