Philippians 4:8-9 CSB
“Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy — dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.”
•
Ask yourself today when thoughts come up that produce anxiety/worry/doubt/insecurities etc
- Are these thoughts TRUE?
- Are these thoughts PURE?
- Are these thoughts COMMENDABLE?
•
If the answer is no, we encourage you today to take a step back & to release those thoughts over to The Lord, and we challenge you to DECLARE TRUTH over yourself today. Because whom the son sets free is free indeed! 🙌🏼🤎
•
Go in TRUTH today! ☀️🤍

Psalms 4:8 CSB
“I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.”
•
As you wake up today, we want to encourage you to ask yourself…
- What area in you lacks peace?
- What area in my life do I allow to rob my peace?
- Am I living in the safety of The Lord?
•
When you identify with God those answers we want to challenge you to ACKNOWLEDGE the SAFETY that God INVITES you to LIVE IN throughout the day. When life is feeling uncertain or unsure, look up to the Lord and know that He is CONFIDENT about what He is doing in you & He is at PEACE with how to guide you through life’s uncertain times. 🙌🏼

Go in PEACE today! ☀️🤍

Why do we do what we do?
Colossians 3:23
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
•
As we grow it is important to us that we remember why we do everything unto The Lord. Our store has been able to withstand storm after storm, trial after trial, and at the end of the day God has blessed us in and through every one of those seasons. God is the reason why we do what we do ALL GLORY and PRAISE BELONGS TO HIM 🙏🏼🤎

PHILIPPIANS 2:16
“holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.”

Meet Joseph and Evelyn Curtiss, the pioneers of Word of Life Christian Bookstore, established in 1961. While serving in the U.S. Air Force, Joseph came to Christ in Germany and developed a deep passion for studying God’s Word. Upon returning to America, his vision for Christian literature grew even more. After marrying Evelyn, Joseph’s mother encouraged them to go into business together. Their faith took flight, and God blessed their efforts. Thus, Word of Life was born in the summer of 1961.

•
Now, meet Jon and LaShalle Curtiss. Jon, the son of Joseph and Evelyn, met LaShalle at the bookstore. Shortly after getting married in 1989, they knew they wanted to dedicate themselves fully to building up the business. As soon as their faith partnered with action, they experienced an outpouring of favor through relationships with churches, publishers, and the community.
•
The legacy now continues with them. 🙌🏼

Word of Life Our Story
Word of Life Christian Bookstore was started in 1961, at 84th & Hoover Street in Los Angeles by Joe & Evelyn Curtiss. The store had a very small beginning in a building that was formerly an art studio. The Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) was one of their greatest assets for a source of training and suppliers. The store began with a few hundred dollars in inventory, less than six churches and a customer or two a day in a 300 sq. ft. building.
In 1968, Word of Life relocated to Florence and Main in a facility of 2700 sq. ft. In November of 1985, A & M Markus bookstore located at 6321 West Blvd., was purchased by Word of Life. The size of that store is 6,500 sq. ft.
Today, after 59 years, Word of Life is a leading Christian Retailer in the community and one of the oldest African American owned Christian Bookstores in the nation. The business serves more than 500 churches, thousands of walk in customers as well as customers by phone, mail, and website, throughout the country.
At Word of Life you will find bibles, books, gifts, music, and church supplies. Word of Life has partnered with local and national authors and artist and has hosted many events in the store.
