Always friendly and helpful.

absolutely love this bookstore! it's kind of a hidden gem and doesn't appear to be much when driving by. On the inside, however, is a top notch, clean, professional and comfortable setting. While I wish the staff would take a second to greet each customer, they are quite friendly and eager to help you on approach. The store is well lit and well decorated. One of its great assets is the small stage they have where local artists perform and authors do book signing and readings of their work. I also enjoy having hot apple cider from the cafe. They have a tasty selection of nuts and dried fruits, as well as sandwiches, which I can't wait to try! I have yet to walk out disappointed --and they have always had whatever book or author I was looking for in stock. If you love book stores, you owe it to yourself to stop and browse Baker Book House, in Kentwood!

I had a book that I was looking for. Checked online at their website which said it was in store. Actually it was in a nearby warehouse. I was disappointed to make the trip and yet have to order it. Then I have been thrilled with their backroom of older books.

What are your specials this month and what day is Sr. Citizens discount days? Do you have a Spanish / English side by side study bible?

Baker Book House - Christian Book Store | Nov 2, 2021

Hi Susana! If you're still looking for some answers, here's some that should help: Our monthly sales catalog has gone out for the month and you can pick up a copy in-store to see the specials we have going on for this month! We also have some sales that happen here and there throughout the store, so you may want to head in-store to see what deals you can find! Our Senior Discount Day is always on the first Wednesday of every month, so our next one will be November 3. As for the study Bible, we do have a NLT/NTV Spanish Bilingual Bible in our Spanish Bibles section! It is $24.99 and we currently have 2 on hand. If you would like to put a copy on hold, or if you have any further questions, you can call (616) 957-3110! Thanks for reaching out and we hope this helped!
