That's not to say that other religious books—including others by evangelicals—would be safe from similar lists. That they aren't rapped more frequently, Steinfels writes,

may be due to charity. It certainly is not due to lack of material—spirituality lite guides on how to be your own best guru; niche marketing editions of study Bibles or daily meditations for computer programmers, dieters and cat owners; uplifting religious fiction; and well-meaning efforts to recast Jesus as the original successful lobbyist or the Buddha as a master of corporate personnel policy. This column has occasionally been tempted to create such a worst books list, only to be deterred by a feeling that it would be a little like breaking butterflies on a wheel or, perhaps more appropriately, rooting out dandelions with a back hoe.
