Moravian & Local Books and Music

While most books currently in print are searchable through this IndieBound web site, some specialized books are not. This is especially true of books about the Moravians, Bethlehem, and the Lehigh Valley.

The Moravian Book Shop has a complete selection of Moravian, Bethlehem, and Lehigh Valley books, including books helpful in genealogical research. We also carry Publications from the Moravian Church, such as the Daily Text, CDs from the Bach Choir of Bethlehem, and some local interest DVDs.
