Carol Stream, Ill., March 18, 2008 -- 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.
An online link to the awards—including the 11 winners of the awards of merit—will be posted at 10 a.m. Central Time on March 18, 2008, at http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/april/10.28.html.
Christianity Today, in its sixth decade of publication, is the nation’s premier evangelical Christian magazine. Its parent company, Christianity Today International, publishes 13 magazines. CTI’s vision: “To be a leading journalistic voice of evangelicals, equipping Christians to renew their minds, serve the church, and transform their cultures to the glory of God.”
