Waybright Books & Bibles, Company

Waybright began with a desire to be in some service of use to the cause of Christianity to which we had committed our purpose in life. Back in our teen years I had met Mr. Pat Zondervan, one of the founders of Zondervan Publishers, through my dad being associated with him in the Gideon Bible Society and was made aware of the Christian book business. In those years were born the idea that I might get into that business. After a stint in the military and college I could never get books out of my life. Married and living in Dallas, Texas, a member of a church and had become associated with Rev. Dr. J. H. Hamblen, father of the song writer and cowboy singer and actor, Stuart Hamblin. Rev. Hamblin had a friend in Memphis, Tennessee operating a small bookshop that wanted to sell and retire. After a brief period it became necessary to get open sources for books and materials to serve an increase in customers. Moved in 1969 further west to our present location, we were able to purchase the property and have filled it to capacity with many choices of Bibles, All Good Christian Books and great Christian Education Resources for the church and home school. Also Church Goods which includes Artistic Communion Ware and Offering supplies, bulletins, envelopes, etc., Murphy Choir and Pulpit Robes, Accessories, Hymnals and song books, and a lot more. Products from Cook Communication Ministries, Gospel Light Publications, Union Gospel Press, Urban Ministries, Standard Publications, Boyd Publications – National Baptist Publishing, Broadman-Holman Publishers and many other suppliers and book publishers.
