The hard work of WJK authors pays off! Here is just some of the publicity and a few of the many reviews they have received over the last several months.
Greg Garrett has been busy the last several months promoting We Get to Carry Each Other: The Gospel according to U2. He and his book have been featured on such media outlets as Beliefnet.com, National Review Online, atU2.com, and Sirius/XM Satellite Radio's Interfaith Voices. Greg's tour included a launch party at Carmichael's bookstore in Louisville, Kentucky, media interviews in England and Ireland, seminars at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, and workshops at the Episcopal Women's Gathering in Anaheim, California.
Thomas G. Long's Accompany Them with Singing-The Christian Funeral made the cover of the October 6, 2009 issue of The Christian Century. The feature included an excerpt from his new book.
The August 2009 issue of The Expository Times includes a lovely review of Q, the Earliest Gospel by John S. Kloppenborg. "This treatment of Q is fascinating, readable and fully comprehensible," describes reviewer Paul Foster. "However, far more important than the usability of this book is the way Kloppenborg provides a sustained and thoroughgoing vision of the significance of Q."
Kathleen Long Bostrom's 99 Things to Do between Here and Heaven was featured in the July/August 2009 issue of Horizons. The reviewer calls it a "delightful book" that is "both easy to understand and spiritually focused."
The Division of Christendom by Hans J. Hillerbrand was reviewed in the September/October 2009 issue of Theology. It is described as a "well-conceived book" and "an excellent introduction, containing as it does all the salient points of the Reformation, presented in a logical, easy-to-follow narrative that is a joy to read."
"In his readable, widely accessible work, built on strong scholarship . . . Wright does bring Acts alive for everyone," confirms the Journal for the Study of the New Testament's review of N. T. Wright's two-volume Acts for Everyone. The review appears in their summer Booklist 2009 issue.
John Sawyer's A Concise Dictionary of the Bible and Its Reception was called "a wonderful resource for those studying the Bible" in a September 2009 review in The Bible Today. In the same issue were nice reviews of the newest edition of Douglas Stuart's Old Testament Exegesis and Walter T. Wilson's Pauline Parallels.
The fall 2009 issue of Sharing the Practice, the official publication of the Academy of Parish Clergy (APC), featured a glowing review of Robert Bruce Mullin's A Short World History of Christianity. The book, which was also an APC Top Ten Book of 2009, was described as "exciting. It reads well. Every page has something of worth to be found on it." Other WJK books reviewed in this issue were Janet and Philip Jamieson's Ministry and Money, William Stacy Johnson's John Calvin, Reformer for the 21st Century, and Rebecca Barnes-Davies's "life changing" 50 Ways to Help Save the Earth.
The August 2009 issue of CHOICE magazine included a nice review of Alister McGrath's A Fine-Tuned Universe.
