I have ordered this product at least twice. I have received minimal duplicates of my own personal collection, and have been able to get items for my toddler, my husband and myself all in one box--with some things that I have put aside until my kids are older. Really, with the regular prices of the types of products in the box, $10 is not that much for a fun surprise in the mail.

Not only were the contents of this box NOT a $100 value, they weren't worth the $10 that I paid for them! It contained only things for small children and mostly cheesy, low-budget and old DVD's, books. It contained one nice Max Lucado book but, unfortunately, I don't have small children. I guess Christianbook.com makes no promises as to the contents of the surprise box but honestly, I still expected more.

I have not even received the box and already know that I have wasted my money!
6 of the titles I have ordered in the last month from CBD. I actually took the time to ask questions before I ordered the "mystery" box. All the books are available for the lowest prices. That plus the postage means that the only mystery is why I choose to wast my money.

I love surprises, so I (once again) couldn't resist this mystery box! I ordered one about two years ago or so and loved the content. I figured with so much time in between orders I wouldn't risk getting a book twice.
While there was indeed one book enclosed that I previously received, there was a broad spectrum of new novels included too. I plan to read most of them and the rest will be put to use for gifting purposes. Not giving away too much now (this is supposed to be a surprise after all and will probably change a bit from box to box too), but generally I'd say the content of the box is aimed at female adult readers.
As far as the value of the box is concerned, all of the books are available for substantialy higher prices when bought separately, in one case a book cost even more than the whole box.

I was skeptical when buying the mystery box, but I was very plesantly surprised when I got the books. There was only one I was not interested in reading, and the rest have been awesome so far! There were even 2 classic fiction books in there that I have been wanting to read again! I am very pleased with this purchase!!

I ordered these books so that I would get a surprise on Christmas day. My 12 year old wrapped them for me and as I opened each one I was delighted to find that I had not read 9 out of 10 of the books. They are the type of books that I like to read and I know I am going to enjoy them.

I loved almost all of the books I got in the box. There was one about divorce that I gave to goodwill and a few novels that were too old for my kids but I gave them to someone who could use them. It was WELL worth the money and alot of the books we recieved are now favorites!

I order one of the adult and one of the children surprise boxes. I was very disappointed in the children's box. The adult one was ok, but I had ordered about 5 or 6 of the books that were in it in the same order. I would have thought that they would have either deleted the books I ordered or at least have asked if I wanted two copies. That part I felt was a rip off, but I guess that is what I get for ordering a surprise box. Won't ever order a children's order again.

I loved everone of my books. I am also going to get more. Maybe if some of you really took the time to read and understand the books you would see that they are good books.

I guess you get what you pay for- I paid $7.99 for a box of 10 fictions. I havent even received the order yet- but when I noticed the list of books that were included on the shipping list- I wasnt impressed to say the least. I made a mistake and all 10 of the books will be going to the local library!! I also ordered two other books which I am excited about A Cousins Challange (Indiana Cousins Series) and Eyes On the Prize (chapel hill series).I know now it is best to be able to control what books are sent to you- most of the ones in the "surprise" gift box- are old cast off's that I guess Christian Book is trying to get rid of!!!

This is awesome! Every book was either a stand alone novel or was in a series but could be read independently. I will only be giving away one of the books I got (and that's because I already have it.)

One of the books was #26 in a series, One was a book on tape, and one was severely water damaged. In the box of ten books, there are probably three that I will read. The others I gave away. It really isn't that interesting of a selection. It was kind of exciting ordering the books and wondering what I was going to get, but I was kind of disappointed with the contents of the box. I guess for $8, I got what I paid for.
