Mardel Christian & Education — Attraction in West Columbia

This is the place for anything nice! I am so pleased with how neat and nice everything is on shelves and the selection is above excellent. I visited this store on my lunch hour today and I can't believe I haven't visited sooner. This store has everything you need and want. This is the place for yourself, your home and of course others! They have bibles, devotionals, books, educational items, clothes, home goods, jewelry, decor, gift items of everything you can think of and so much more.

We usually prefer to shop local, but after this episode we will take our...

This store is really great, with a very good book selection, and a wonderful staff. I have purchased two Bibles and a nice timeline at this store. Most recently, one of the managers (Trevina) helped me get a replacement for my Holman Bible I bought a year and a half ago from an online vendor. The Bible had a lifetime guarantee, but began peeling in less than two years. Certainly this store did not have to help me replace a Bible I purchased somewhere else, but they coordinated everything for me and were so friendly throughout the whole price. You can bet I’ll be using this store in the future for all my Christian education needs. Five stars...
