The Discerning Reader recently announced that my publisher Baker Publishing Group was named the 2004 Publisher of the Year. In their list of the 50 Top Books of 2004, BPG's books took 20 slots.
Even more surprising and gratifying for me is that BOTH of my books, (It Takes a Church to Raise A Christian and Showtime) were named in those top 50 Books of the year. As a new author, I am very grateful to be part of the Baker Publishing Group team. My editors, Rodney Clapp (whose own book Tortured Wonders also made the list) and Chad Allen were great "literary trainers" for me. Both of the books were much stronger after Rodney and Chad worked them through with me. I am honored to have my books recognized and even more so as part of BPG.
Here's a nice quote from Discerning Reader about the Baker folks:
The Discerning Reader noted that Baker Publishing Group "has grown into one of the largest and most influential evangelical publishers in the world. In its earlier days it was responsible for publishing some of the most important books to the growing evangelical movement in the USA and around the world. In more recent days, particularly through its Baker Academic and Brazos Press imprints, it is a leader in the cause of breathing new life into that movement."
