A catalogue of books about Movements
I read an article that got me thinking about what books are accepted by publishers, what books are self-published, and the pros and cons of either option. I did a little research project and put together a small (and incomplete spreadsheet) of Books on Movement.
I kept it pretty simple because my main purposes were to discover…
… the publishing companies that had regularly published books about movement. I had a hunch that many were independently published or published by smaller groups or organizations. I’m not considering this Wikipedia list to be exhaustive or 100% accurate, but if it’s even remotely close less than 25% of the books on my original list were published by a ‘bigger’ evangelical publishing company.
… the overall ‘reach’ of the books. This was a lot harder to find than I anticipated, as I could not find any free and reliable source to find the “number of copies sold”. Instead, I included how many reviews the book has on Amazon as well as Amazon’s overall “book rank.” It’s really interesting to sort the list by these categories.
I share this to ask two questions:
What books did I miss? If there is a book or two you feel is an egregious error, please let me know. If there are multiple books you feel I need to have on the list, I would love to have you collaborate with me on this spreadsheet.
Where are the gaps and opportunities when it comes to books about movement? Which one will you write about?
Here’s the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GQtbEoHZEVgg1kL43RHdHo4eCpGsRPyxUaxK_PZ8LFE/edit?usp=sharing
