"Well, crying isn't gonna bring your dog back . . . unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog."

- Homer J. Simpson
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. :-)

Your Jesus Is Too Safe by that great writer and preacher, nominated for Dad of the Year (only losing to my great Dad)

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.
