'''Christianbook, LLC''', formerly known as '''Christian Book Distributors''' ('''CBD'''), is a Christian catalog and internet retailer.
Christian Book Distributors was started in 1978 by Stephen Hendrickson, 19 years old and a sophomore at Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, out of his parents’ home in [[Lynn, Massachusetts]]. Stephen Hendrickson incorporated the business, first as a nonprofit, and subsequently as a for profit corporation on September 10, 1981.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Christian Book Distributors Articles of Incorporation|url=https://pdfhost.io/v/A27VrvJil_Christian_Book_Distributors_Articles_of_Incorporation.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=2021-08-03|website=pdfhost.io |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210809140752/https://pdfhost.io/v/A27VrvJil_Christian_Book_Distributors_Articles_of_Incorporation.pdf |archive-date=2021-08-09 }}</ref>{{primary source inline|date=June 2022}}
In 1984 the company built a {{convert|24000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility in the Centennial Industrial Park in Peabody. By 1996 CBD had completely outgrown the site and built a new facility across the street, where it remains today. The facility is now {{convert|300000|sqft|m2}}. In 2012, CBD was described as employing a staff of just over 500 while "[continuing] to be a family affair", with its younger co-founder, his 80-year-old mother and his 23-year-old son "still involved with the company".<ref name="workplacedynamics">{{cite web |url=http://twp.workplacedynamics.com/company_survey/christian-book-distributors-inc_ma/ma_09
