It behooves me why people vote for authors they can get cheaper in a base package. I hope Piper and Keller go far for one reason their sermon archives. I also hope fee goes far as well as far as the rest I could really care less.

    Yeah I'm befuddled as well.

    I think people vote for who their favorite is, rather than who they lack books from.

    I'm still a little surprised how poorly Steve "The Discourse Hammer" Runge did against a one-bundle-and-done Chesterton

    Dr Heiser, after what looks to be a close and frustrating loss, was asked if he would see John Wesley in Heaven; he replied "Probably".  An entire Mobile Ed Course surrounding this was then recorded and is slated for release early next month.

    i don't understand the results either, it really seems like people are voting for their favourite author or author which best represents their demonimation. FL wins in margin because they won't actually sell too many discounted resources - and the ones they are selling they get a better margin than if people bought them as part of a base package, but then they loose on raw sales and the benefits that cash flow brings to a business because people like you and I are just not going buy anything if the results keep going the same way year in, year out.

    Surprised a quality contemporary scholar like Keener is poised to lose to crusty Augustine. His work on Acts is valuable, but since it's a Baker resource I doubt it is among the special offerings but who knows?

    Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

    I'm surprised at this too.

    I do not recall seeing Augustine teaching any Mobile Ed. courses.

    Little Daniel Webster took a cookie out of the cookie jar and was eating it in a closet when he was discovered by his mother.

    "Daniel, I'm surprised at you" his mother said. "No, mother" replied Daniel. "You are amazed, I'm the one who is surprised."
