We are very thankful for local Christian bookstores such as the Lamb’s Well and Lifeway who serve our communities by providing Biblical resources and bringing God’s light to dispel the darkness. I am also very thankful for writers and speakers who pass on their various spiritual gifts, teaching us how to live out our ordinary day-to-day joys and sorrows with practical guidance from God’s Word.
The Lamb’s Well is a Christian and church supply store located in Warner Robins, Georgia. It is locally owned and operated by Carla and Stan Cook. The store carries a great assortment of Bibles, books, music, Christian education materials, church supplies, furniture, equipment, home school products, art, and gifts. Their focus is to serve the Christian community by providing an environment that refreshes their customers and honors God. It is their desire to create a place where Christians, as well as those who are searching, can come to find strength, knowledge, love, inspiration and hope through Jesus Christ.
