Use These Outreach Books (5 Zondervan Authors Honored with Outreach 2012 Resources of the Year Awards)
The 2012 Outreach Resources of the Year were announced today in a press release from Outreach magazine, honoring twenty evangelism-themed resources from the last year. Five of these resources are by by Zondervan authors.
The Outreach Resources of the Year series celebrates of "the best outreach-oriented books and curricula," says the magazine, which selects titles in "areas such as evangelism, compassion and justice ministries, missional living and cross-cultural ministries." Here is the magazine's Editor, Brian Orme, on the goal of the series:
These resources deserve accolades, but Outreach Resources of the Year is about more than that… We strive to help churches share God's love, reach their communities and change the world. Drawing their attention to the best resources available each year is one way we do that.
We at Zondervan couldn't agree more with Orme. Of course we're thrilled for our authors when they receive awards — we love our authors, and it's exciting to see their excellent work honored by others. But the chief reason we celebrate today is this: we're blessed to work with authors who help people share God's love and transform the world.
