“I am really enjoying my time here. God was so faithful in bringing me here. I am a commercial music major, and the smaller class sizes overall in the music department have been a blessing in us getting more instructor help. One of my music professors has super gone out of his way for me too, like zoom calling when I've needed sight singing help, and even driving to school in the evening one day to help me with a music tech assignment. My other music professors have been open, invitational, and available for office hours and email questions too. I really appreciate how overall the Conservatory of music is humble at Biola, and that they incorporate Jesus into what we do and bringing Him glory through our art, yet striving to be excellent in that at the same time with our music. I am also in Torrey, and WOW. It is such a rich learning experience. I've been learning how to discuss with others on different types of books, whether it's the Bible, book by C.S. Lewis, or books by non Christian authors who have very different beliefs. We look at different perspectives, discuss what a book is talking about, yet still hold to Biblical views. The Torrey professors are wonderful overall, they put you with a mentor, and mine (Dr. Henderson) is awesome. I love the socratic model Torrey enforces, the writing, and my cohort has awesome people in it, who even with being from different places, including different states, having different personalities, love Jesus and respect each other overall. All my professors have been investing in their students in some shape or form, and overall they really care about student's character. I came from a public high school, and while I appreciate experiences I had there, it was super different than Biola. It feels so nice to have a hugely increased number of teachers and peers that really overall treat me with the love of Jesus, including kindness. I have never seen a place where so many people treated others like they are made in God's image. It's definitely not perfect, I have seen students say and do things they shouldn't here and there, but overall, it has been wonderful, people overall are really kind and welcoming. Biola is a beautiful model of Biblical unity amidst diversity. I've also really enjoyed how they try to celebrate different ethnicities there. The school is super Christ-centered. I thought the chapels and teaching here would be like baby Christian milk, but while there is milk, there is also meat. Good balance, especially for so many different people at different places in their walks with God. Overall, great commuter community, the collegium is a blessing. Finally, a shout out to campus security. I commute, and my car needed to be jumpstarted one time. They literally have a jump start kit in the office. The other day also, I didn't realize it, but my tire was flat, and turns out there was a nail in it. I got a call from campus security about it, saying that a Residential Director saw it and called it in, and they wanted to let me know so I wouldn't drive away with it. I appreciate the 24/7 campus security line, the phone operators are so friendly overall, and I appreciate cs driving around campus, including at night, and keeping watch, too. I'm glad that campus security, and people on this campus, are looking out for me. So blessed that Jesus has got my back, and He has been using the people here at Biola in doing that.”

“I just discovered this place. I love it! They have a good selection of classic literature. I've gone back twice in less than a week. Prices for paper back are very reasonable. Hardcovers are a bit more expensive but they are in really good condition. The staff is very kind and helpful.”
“I am a new convert to Islam and have become a Muslim. My daughter, Esther was the first in our family to bring the truth to our home. The first time I read the Quran the experience was extraordinary! I needed a Quran of my own with large print and found one beautiful hardbound book. The store is filled with books and the customer service is excellent and we look forward to visiting again.”
“The best shop to buy all the stuffs for baby and young kids! Fast shipping and high quality All Chinese books for children are bought from yo baby. The quality is very good and can be read for a long time! And the delivery speed is super fast. I look forward to receiving it every time.”
“I met many wonderful, considerate, respectful people of all age groups. I was very impressed with their commitment to the Christian ✝️ community and their faith in God.”
“Love it here. Everyong is always friendly and knowledgeable about the various hobbies on offer in the store. Great for a conversation about tools, models, games, etc. Prices are competitive and they have a wide variety in stock.
Good group of folks here. ?”
“Points of Light is a true hidden gem. A few years ago, while searching for clarity during a difficult time, I felt drawn to stop in — and was guided to a cauldron and release incense that helped me begin healing. That visit changed me for the better.
Today, I felt that same pull again and went in seeking a road opener for new success. Once more, Points of Light had exactly what I needed. Whatever brings you here, trust that you’ll find the right tools and guidance for your journey. It’s a special place that meets you where you are — and helps you move forward.”
“Like a lot of used book stores, the shelves are crammed full and are not terribly well organized, but if you're willing to dig a little you'll probably find something interesting.”
“I love coming into Planet Books! The owner is one of the kindest men I have met and full of book knowledge! He is kind and patient with questions and will help you either locate a book you're interested in or provide recommendations based on the book. Great selection of books, you'll get lost for hours (in a good way). Keep in mind they'll be moving locations in April!”
“It has downsized dramatically, but the selections are the same. The staff is just as good too. Books, toys, games, movies, music, they have it. Even record players! It doesn't matter if you aren't a die-hard book person, there is something in a book there for you.”

“I was blown away by the selection when I visited for the first time. I've lived in the area for 3 1/2 years but I've in Whittier. I only heard about it recently but had to get over there ASAP. Incredible selections of books, music, film, manga, children's lit, YA, etc. I was there with my family and we had little ones but if I was there alone, I could probably hang all day and spend too much money!”
“The lady that works her is very nice and helpful. This store has lots of gifts and religious items. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for Catholic items or books.
They have a large selection of items. Will definitely return when I'm in the area.”

“I can't believe my good fortune that this amazing, unique and inclusive book shop opened up right across from where I live! The vibe could not be more welcoming nor could the selection of books be more diverse and intriguing. I learn something new and meet someone interesting every time I drop in. Today I placed photos of my departed parents and late husband in the store's ofrenda at the owner, Liz's invitation, in preparation for Dia de los Muertos. Liz and her bookshop are so much more than just another Anaheim merchant - they are a true community resource! Treat yourself to a respite during these troubling times in this magical space.”
“Sad to see this place eventually having to go.
I've been to this bookstore once and bought a book discussing the history of the Supreme Court for a very reasonable price. The shelves had a lot books, but were well organized, giving the customer plenty of choices. Overall, the environment and service was very pleasant.
Wishing the owner and the locals who come here frequently all the best”
“Amazing location, I drove from Long Beach since it was highly recommended to me by a friend I served in the Marine Corps with. Everyone was so pleasant and it felt just right in there. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you.”
“Came here for my kids obsession with Needohs. Was able to get a few. They're kept behind the register. They also have a variety of other fidgets incase you are looking for some. Their kids section is so cute. I love the size of this mini Barnes and Noble. They also carry a variety of Calico Critters. Yes, I bought a few books too but the fidgets and trinkets are the cutest here!”
“As a long distant student, I appreciate the support and time that the bookstore team has taken to support. A big shoutout to Zorya who answered my call and reassured my book shipping confirmation with east. Will be ordering again!”
“Stopped by on a whim, the staff is nice and helpful. Was able to find what I was looking for and some future recommendations. I would visit again when I’m in the area.”
“This shop is really nice, I actually bought a pair of AirPods in here once and I was completely satisfied with my purchase. I also bought a cap to wear and it looks very nice on me. This store has pretty much everything a student at college would need like laptops, headphones, books, art supplies and merchandise. The shop has a 2nd floor but I have not seen what’s upstairs unfortunately, but this store is very awesome.”
“Love this book store. Well organized and pretty current with latest books. You can always place an order for any books you can not find. They also have a large selection of the latest magazines. An annual membership (For 2026, the annual membership is $39.99) allows for membership discounts for books and purchases at Starbucks in the store.”
“Wide selection and great prices. I have been searching for a book store that sells used books at reasonable prices and this one did not disappoint. I will definitely be making this a regular spot. The service was also great and I love when I can support a local business. Thank you for being here! ?”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting “The Good Shepherd Catholic Store” and I must say, the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted warmly by Ms. Jacqueline and Ms. Yvonne. A great place for all your Catholic supplies books, statues and so much more. Because of their services, I will revisit the store and recommend The Good Shepherd Catholic Store to All!!!”
“I feel so sad about the sudden passing away of Fr. Perez, he started this church. But his death did not amount to nothing. It only flourished more the old traditional way of saying Mass. I have been Blessed by meeting good priests here too the likes of which is Fr. Starbuck and others, I have been thankful to God that there’s one like this in Orange County, truly a gem!! Hope to see more faithful flocking here. God bless!”
“My family and I were visiting from Utah. Found this place, and the owners welcomed me in for some casual chess games. The games were awesome! Charlene did a great job in helping me find some souvenirs, too! This place is very friendly and the people who play here are also kind! I bought a chess set for my oldest son and a chess clock/timer! If we ever visit again, I'll be coming back!”
“Awsome. I didn't know that there is a Christian book store around my block! !!! ! ! ! I got a question, does this store sells Action Bibles? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? for how much do you sell them for? ?? ? ? ? ? ? Because I've been looking for this book for a long, long, long time. And I been trying to look for one at Barnes and Noble book store, but I couldn't find it anywhere at that store. so.?.... do you? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? hehehehe.”
“Me & my friend wanted to find a place to study / rehearse a speech & found this library near us through Yelp. It's super clean, quiet and the front staff was so nice and helpful letting us reserve a room for two hours for free with no need of a library card. Looking at the beautiful building it's a great use of our tax dollars to be funded here. Maybe it's because it's a Saturday but it was perfect & peaceful studying here. Parking is plentiful in an underground garage.”

“I called this bookstore looking for a particular book. Gentleman was very helpful and kind. He ordered one since he didn’t have one in stock and called me in few days. I will definitely go back to this place.”
