A Bookstore:

Cornerstone is a bookstore and much more. We believe in good books and so we want people to discover, or, in some cases, re-discover, the art and joy of reading. Consequently, we carry some of the best in Christian worldview resources available. Many of our titles also cover a range of perspectives and counter-perspectives in order to help people discover and sharpen their own personal worldview on a variety of subjects.

Our in-store selection is not huge, but we have about a thousand titles and access to over a million more. Most special orders only take 2-3 days. As a non-profit ministry, we discount our books 20%, whether the title was on the shelf or special ordered. Our primary purpose in including the “bookstore” as part of The Cornerstone’s ministry is to promote good teaching resources, not to just “sell books.”

Yes, most all of our resources are from a Christian perspective, but that may not mean quite what you think. Culture and stereotypes often get in the way of what following Christ is about. What if you’re not a Christian or not sure yet what you believe? That’s okay, we have lots of books for honest seekers, for current agnostics & atheists as well, (been there, … understand that!) But everyone does have a worldview. So, why not develop yours and make it more consistent? We even have free books to help you in your search. Check in with us. We can help!

A Resource Library:

Although the first thing people often notice when they come in to The Cornerstone is the books for sale, we prefer to think of ourselves as more of a “Resource Center” than a bookstore. Our goal is to help people to find answers to whatever topics are related to their lives. Books are expensive, even at discount, so we also provide books, articles, audio CD’s, and videos and DVD’s that can be loaned out.

Loan Books:

We have several hundred titles that include technical bible study tools, books on theological topics, apologetic and evangelistic resources, practical books on a variety of Christian living issues, books on personal relationships and titles on wide variety of contemporary social issues.

Print & Online Articles:

Sometimes people don’t have time to read a whole book but need to know some key introductory information. We have kept hundreds of short articles on a wide variety of subjects in what we have called our “X-Files” cabinet.

DVD’s & Videos, Audio & MP3 CD’s:

The Cornerstone has a moderate collection of quality teaching and some entertainment videos and DVD’s on a wide variety of subjects. We also have a collection of audio and MP3 CD’s on many topics.

Prayer Room

Cornerstone has also set aside a section of our upstairs for a dedicated prayer room. This area has room for one to 6 people and has been decorated by students with inspiring thoughts, Scriptures, a world map and like items. If you want a nice place for private prayer, alone or with friends. It is usually open for anyone to go there during the daytime.

Our prayer room has also been used to promote 24 hour times of prayer and this year we had a full week of 24-7 prayer. We had dozens of people sign up for single hour slots, sometimes meeting with friends. Sometimes different campus groups took the responsibility for the whole night shift, praying here and using Cornerstone as a base for prayer walks.

We may be doing a 24-hour prayer event monthly as well as a weekly prayer meeting. If you are interested, keep checking back for more information.

God is mobilizing a community to pray and obey like never before here at Boise State University. And you can be a part of it!.
