I know this is a long shot because the bible i'm looking for is a discontinued item, but I'm gonna try this. I am looking to purchase a bible that was exclusive to Family Christian Store, but has since been discontinued. I was wondering if anyone here would have any ideas about locating one of these bibles to buy. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the board.
I'm mostly stumped. I didn't see it at Zondervan, or on Amazon, ChristianBook, ebay, or at Ingram/Spring Arbor, Apallachain/STL, or Anchor (the largest distributors of Christian product). That's not a very good sign. Your best bet is probably going to be in inventories at brick-and-morter Christian chain or independant retailers or general book sellers. Do you have the ISBN# or UPC# from the item - usually a 10 to 12 digit number that identifies that individual item? If so, I'd grab a local phone directory and try calling around to various book shops in your area. The problem is, so many of them have gone out of business the past few years that such local inventories are severely reduced, and that particular colour scheme from Zondervan was very popular. Perhaps they'll reprint at some future date?
The largest out-of-print book resource, Alibris, has the burgundy/tan made for Wal-Mart, but not with the Christmas CD;
or they've got it with the Christmas CD, but without specifying the colour scheme.
The fact that it was exclusive to Family Christian Stores (affiliated with Zondervan Publishers) shouldn't deter finding it in a few other places. Many of the Family Christian Stores have been closed due to market conditions, and primarily due to closing sales when this happens, their inventories can wind up in a variety of other places. It's still going to be a very difficult search, especially with finding none on ebay, but I wouldn't give up just yet.

Get the ISBN number and do a web search for that number. It's gotta be out there somewhere. Some store somewhere in the world will have it.

I've had some luck with abebooks in finding old out of print books.
