Here are 10 notable people who died in 2015…
Some were friends of ours here at the ERB, others were luminaries who have shaped our work. They all will be missed!

Our criterion both for selecting books to review and for honoring the year’s best books is to choose books that are “for the life and flourishing of the Church” – i.e., books that energize us to be the local community of God’s people that God has called us to be and that nurture our mission of following in the way of God’s reconciliation of all things (in all its broadness!).
[ Book of the Year ] [ Slow and Local ] [ Theology ] [ Praxis ]
[ Fiction ] [ Non-Fiction ] [ Poetry/ Young Readers ]
It’s that time of year again, a tradition almost as familiar as the Thanksgiving turkey or trimming the Christmas tree… It’s time to honor the worst Christian book covers of the year!!!
(Numbers 12-15 on this list are ebooks, the rest are print books. If we hadn’t limited our ebook choices to four, we could have chosen literally hundreds of bad ebook covers.)
Enjoy, and share these with your friends!
Count down with us to the #1 worst Christian book cover of the year…
*** And just in case you haven’t seen it, here is last year’s list of worst covers
(and our inaugural list from 2012)
