Christianity Today recently whittled down a list of 390 book submissions to a select few of 2012 Book Award winners & notables, books which "offer insights into the people, events, and ideas that shape evangelical life, thought, and mission." Three of their book selections are by Zondervan authors.

Below you can discover more about the award-winning authors and their books. Read the interviews to discover the authors' thoughts on topics that include:

How to trade in resentment for gratitude (See the Ann Voskamp interview )
Why maps that portray the spread of Christianity usually get it all wrong (See the Irving Hexham interview)
An uncommon-yet-crucial conviction about God's Word (See the Michael Horton interview)

The three Christianity Today 2012 Book Award honorees from Zondervan:

1. Spirituality, Award of Merit
	One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully, Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp (@annvoskamp) "Christ Himself instituted the act of thanksgiving as central to what it means to be a Christ-follower — to take and give thanks, and to do so in remembrance of Him… Gratitude truly is the gravity of the Christ-centered life." -From Voskamp's interview with author Jason C. Dukes. Read Excerpt Learn More
2. Missions / Global Affairs, Award of Merit
	Understanding World Religions: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Irving Hexham (@irvinghexham) "We are now living in a new era which is far more like the situation faced by the first Christians than anything the majority of Christians have seen for around a thousand years [since]… In this situation it is essential for Christians to understand other religious traditions, their histories, and beliefs." -From Hexham's interview on the LifeWay blog.

3. Theology / Ethics Award Winner
	The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology for Pilgrims on the Way by Michael Horton (Follow @whitehorseinn) "Theology fuels mission. And I believe that Reformed theology — not just the "five points," but its broader confession — is the richest, deepest, and most faithful account of the whole teaching of Scripture. Of course, that case has to be made and not just asserted; hence, the size of the book!" -From Horton's interview with The Gospel Coalition*. Read Excerpt Learn More

*In case you're wondering, The Christian Faith is 1,056 pages long and weighs five times as much as your average hardcover. It weighs just over four pounds.

Those are three of Christianity Today's recent favorite books.

What are yours?
