Our story
Family owned. Faith inspired.
An independent Christian bookstore serving Ocala and the surrounding communities.
Meet the Garcia family
Sharing hope, one conversation at a time.
The Journey Bookstore is owned and operated by husband and wife Jorge and Zeida Garcia and our adult son, Jordan Garcia. Located at The Paddock Market in beautiful Ocala, Florida, we offer Bibles, books from Christian authors, children’s books and Bibles, and faith-based apparel, gifts, and decor.
Our prayer is to provide a place where the community can come for ministry, conversation, and fellowship, and obtain the Christian resources they need to strengthen their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to provide the hope and light of the Lord Jesus Christ to individuals, families, and those seeking faith-based resources.
