Story Behind the Book

Every day you are bombarded with mountains of information, but how do you sort out what’s best? How do you remember it? How do you bring order to the chaos? We’ve made it easy by condensing some of the most valuable ideas into 200 bite-sized gems. The Oregonian newspaper ( Portland , OR ) calls list-o-mania the hottest, coolest, most sensational trend in pop culture. The bestselling Lists to Live By series is on top of that wave. In all of our books, we have intentionally avoided lists about the trivial…and instead focused on what really matters. In The Christian Collection we’ve searched the world (well, almost) for the most powerful and inspirational lists on prayer, faith, hope, heaven, love, family, worship, wisdom, and comfort. Like a compass, this collection will keep your life headed in the right direction. As with all the books in the series, these are not lists to do, but lists to become.
