Amazon is a formidable competitor for small businesses. The convenience they offer is great. Ordering is simple, and you can find just about anything. But, where is your money really going? How do you filter out the junk? And how does Veritas compare?
Here’s a simple chart to help you think about where you buy. Please consider filling it out.

When you are ready to purchase, we would simply ask that you think through the answers to the chart above. We think, together we can be “RESTORING CULTURE TO CHRIST ONE YOUNG HEART AND MIND AT A TIME.” We only ask that you help us help you.
