Our Beginnings

Swiss Valley Christian Bookstore opened its online shopping portals on August 31, 2003, as an outreach of The Missing Link, Inc., its parent organization, linking troubled youth and adults with life-changing programs since 1983, from their headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio USA.

Chaplain Mario, its founder and president, was converted to Christianity through the power of the printed page entitled The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson. That book sent him on a journey toward Christ and deliverance from nine long years of alcohol addiction.

Today we serve side-by-side in prison and Internet ministry.

Swiss Valley Christian Bookstore is one more additional way we can point hungry hearts to Christian books that change lives and music that restores the soul.

We deeply appreciate your patronage!
