Bible Readership Survey Highlights Responsibility of Christian Authors

The responsibility of meeting this need may fall partly on Christian authors and publishers, who annually release numerous books to help people nourish their spirituality. Their writings, while grounded in Bible teachings, can help shed light on contemporary issues that Scripture does not delve into. The youth may even find reading the works of established ministers like Bishop Leonard Scott to be a valuable supplement to attending religious services and Bible study sessions. Thankfully, they will not have to look far to find Christian songs and books, as digital publishing platforms have enabled all forms of religious texts to be readily available to people all over the world. Electronic editions of the Bible have even made it onto bestseller lists, reiterating that this book, indeed, is still sought-after today.

Adapting to Change: Christian Authors and the Challenges of Technology

The advent of new technology has made several things easier and faster. However, with technological advancements comes the challenge of adapting to changes. An article posted on ChristianityToday.com discusses how the world of Christian writing is not spared as Christian authors and publishers have faced opposition to their works that were published on eBooks: …Colorado literary agent Rachelle Gardner warned in a blog that if Christian authors fail to mention their books' faith-based content, they are in danger of receiving nasty reviews. "The star ratings on [sites such as] Amazon and Goodreads do influence how people look at the book," she said. An underground controversy over the practice has raged the past two years, since Christian publishers discovered free eBooks could increase author awareness, said Gardner.
