the newest issue of The Wittenburg Door has a great sidebar called “books that didn’t quite make the 2004 best-seller list”. some highlights:
- Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul, edited by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson
- The SUV-Driven Life, by Rick Warren
- The Gospel According to Sex in the City, by Chris Seay (this one cracked me up!)
- The Prayer of Jabez: Sudanese Language Edition
- The Five People You Meet in Hell, by Jack Chick
- An Unfortunate Series of Poorly Written Books #1: The Deadly Dull Dispensationalist, by Lemony Lahaye and Junky Jenkins
a few more to add, of my own design:
- The 101 Best Youth Ministry Game-Variations of the Egg-in-Armpit Relay
- Stop Calling Us Emergent!, by Doug Pagitt
- 101 New Names You Might Consider Calling Us Other Than Emergent, a companion book, by Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, Brian McLaren and a token female author
- The REAL Reason YS Won’t Be Hosting the Emergent Convention After This Year: the unauthorized biography of mark oestreicher
