50 Top-Selling Christian Authors

The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association has a list of the 50 bestselling Christian authors. (At least that's what they call it; I counted only 48. Go figure.) You may or may not recognize many of the names. I don't have the time or energy to say much about it. It appears to be very thin on theology and heavy on 'self-help'.

Doing GTD & Praying for Allen

David Allen's book "Getting Things Done" has helped me a lot. I keep his workflow diagram on my desk all the time. He has sold well over half a million copies of the book and there are a bunch of websites devoted to helping people put it into practice. His devotees have practically made 'GTD' into a word that will appear in the dictionary someday! However, I had no idea that Allen is a minister at the Purple Rose Ashram of the New Age. Yes, you read that correctly. "Wired" magazine has an article/interview with Allen that is quite eye opening.
