› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best Christian Writing 2000: Series Editor, John Wilson ; Introduced by Philip Yancey'Book summary:Feeling inspired by The Best Spiritual Writing series, John Wilson, an editor at Christianity Today, has assembled this impressive collection of standout Christian writing. Considering that some sociologists claim that there are roughly 1.8 billion Christians in the world today, Wilson acknowledges that it would be impossible to represent every angle of Christian vision within one anthology. Instead he gathered a collection of North American voices that reads like a classroom full of the best and brightest seminary students. Each essay and story has a unique personal history and point of view and yet they all have a common purpose--that of exalting, living and illuminating the Christian path.
The big-name writers in the collection include Jean Bethke Elshtain writing on "Abraham Lincoln and the Last Best Hope", Harvey Cox's essay "The Market As God" (originally published in The Atlantic Monthly) and Eugene Peterson on "Wise Teachers, Sound Teaching". Unfortunately, this anthology leans toward the theological, with only a few essays sustaining a hearty personal narrative. As a result, some readers may find the overall package a little dry. However, connoisseurs of Christian writing will recognise the merits of these well-crafted and provocative essays. In fact, the anthology's strength lies in a very satisfying and familiar formula--one that has always worked for successful sermon writing--linking biblical stories with a smattering of personal anecdotes and then applying them to our collective modern dilemmas. --Gail Hudson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best Christian Writing 2001'Book summary:Like most edited collections, The Best Christian Writing 2001 is a smorgasbord of goodies--some sweet, others sour, often spicy, and occasionally bland. John Wilson, editor for Christianity Today and editor in chief of Books & Culture , cuts and pastes from a variety of periodicals to show how diverse "the best" Christian writing can be. The selections range from lightly academic to everyman accessible. In "Confessions of a Reluctant Catholic," Alice McDermott offers a brief memoir about her return to faith, because "reluctantly, we submit to what it seems we have always known," while Elizabeth Fox-Genovese looks at how her adult profession of belief is received in academia in "A Conversion Story." There's understated humor in "Seminary Sanity," as Sarah Hinlicky recounts her experience with a mandated psychiatric evaluation before entering the ministry. Fatherhood scores a double with Edward Ericson Jr.'s poignant tribute to his dad, "A Father to the End," and the moving reflections of Scott Sawyer's "Earthly Fathers." Stephen L. Carter, Philip Yancey, Richard John Neuhaus, and Reynolds Price are among those who add their voices to this volume. Thoughtful readers who don't connect with all of the essays will still find enough gourmet fare here to make a satisfying meal. --Cindy Crosby [via]
