Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
- C. S. Lewis

The word that represents our goal as multi-media sellers is the word Wisdom.  Continual growth and life-long learning are wise.  The type of product we sell is based upon the various benefits of valuable literature, music, and audio-visual materials that are found in our online store.  Most items in our store have three main things in common:  They are valuable, they are family-friendly, and they are useful in gaining insight and/or wisdom.  Granted, each of these attributes can often be a matter of opinion.  And we do not limit ourselves to items that only possess those attributes and no more.  Some stand out more in other ways.  A few items in our store are simply for the purpose of having fun.  Laughter heals and a long-awaited smile is priceless.  Other items in our store, such as music, sometimes promote wonderful things such as joy, inspiration, contentment, and relaxation.  And only God knows the many functions of the rare and collectible items we sell.

As a happy couple with children of our own, our values are high when it comes to nurturing our intellect, learning, and being informed about everything we are faced with in the world today.  We tend to believe that the bliss in ignorance is temporary and ultimately harmful in the long run.  We are grateful for today's technology, namely the internet:  a tool that creates connections that otherwise might never exist.  It allows us to help each other gain wisdom and insight about almost everything known to mankind.   We hope that we can we can be just a miniscule part of helping you and/or your loved ones laugh, love, live, and flourish in life’s adventurous journey.

Our History

Established in 2004, our official trade name, Aslan Books, was influenced by two factors:  Our love for media and our favorite author and apologist, CS Lewis.  He wrote the famous Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, now a well-known movie.  The name of the lion, a wise fictional character, is Aslan.  Just as Aslan seems to symbolize God in Lewis' original story, our tag-line, Listening to the Lion's Roar, is symbolic of our desire to listen to the wisdom of God in how we run our business affairs.  And, just as the child-like characters in the story do, we fumble about it imperfectly, but with a sense of conviction, excitement and adventure as we learn, grow, and improve in the art of providing quality multimedia to the world online.

We Buy Books!

Aslan Books is continually looking to increase its inventory.  If you have media items sitting on your shelves collecting dust, we would like to buy them from you!  We will even pay for the shipping (some restrictions apply).  Please keep in mind that we are a family-friendly store.  The items we buy must be in good to new condition.  We are not interested in novels or trade paperbacks unless they are clean in content and/or classics.

Thank you...and please enjoy visiting our online store!
