Congratulations on so many Nelson titles making the list!
I am very honored that my book, Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible, is among the nominees!
Most retail store managers and sales personnel, not to mention most Bible readers, are probably quite unaware of the spiritual impact and blessing that awaits them should they use my book for Bible study. And they should use my book for Bible study!
Using Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible will impact the Bible reader and student in all the ways specified, and possesses all the qualities required for nomination for the 2008 Retailer’s Choice Award. I am pleasantly surprised that the retailers took notice!
