"The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack. "

- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest
Book of the Year

WORLD Magazine chooses the ESV Study Bible as its Book of the Year.

If I had to name my book of the year, I'd say it's a tie between Christless Christianity by Michael Horton and The Divine Commodity by Skye Jethani.

What's your Book of the Year?

Is this for 2009 or 2008? Seems strange that they'd be talking about a Book of the Year in June.

I will withold comment until I've received and read my copy of Your Jesus is Too Safe. :)

The ESV Study Bible came out last year, so maybe it's like the "2009" Oscars, which honor films from 2008.

It probably took them that long to read all the possible choices. I know I'm just getting to the point of having seen every film from last year I was really interested in. :-)

I am a big honking nerd, so I will have to say Planet Narnia by Michael Ward. (I am surprised I can't recall any discussion of it here, what with all you Lewis fanboys in the house.)

I haven't read any other book released last year, but the ESV Study Bible is pretty nice.

It's certainly my study Bible of choice.
