Here is our list of 2014′s Englewood Honor Books, the 25 Best Books of the year for the life and flourishing of the Church.
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 ]
The Year of Slow and Local:
Perhaps the most significant theme of 2014 was the emphasis on the slow and the local. Besides (ERB editor) Chris Smith and John Pattison’s Slow Church (IVP Books), there were five books on this theme that we are honoring here.
