The Connection
The Weekly Newsletter of Christianity Today International
Wednesday, March 26, 2008


 Welcome

For two decades, the annual Christianity Today Book Awards have recognized outstanding volumes that shed light on people, events, and ideas that shape evangelical life, thought, and mission. This year, 49 publishers nominated 359 titles published in 2007. Christianity Today editors selected the top books in each category, and then panels of judges—one panel per category—voted. In the end, we chose 10 winners and also recognized 11 awards of merit. Read about the winners in this week's feature article.

Then check out the rest of the articles in the right-hand column of this newsletter, featuring the latest news and encouragement from ChristianityToday.com.
