Two weeks ago I posted a list of writers from the Christian churches who have publishing success in the larger Evangelical market. It was inevitable that my list wasn”t complete, so today I”m adding three more names. Two of these, Laura Dingman (a writer for Christian Standard) and Diane Stortz (a former colleague) I should have remembered the first time around. One, Steve Carter, was suggested by a reader.

I”m guessing this second list won”t be my last one. Please feel free to tell me about others we should include here.

This Invitational Life, by Steve Carter, Hope International University graduate and teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, Illinois. (David C. Cook)

I Am: 40 Reasons to Trust God, by Diane Stortz, former editorial director at Standard Publishing and member, Lifespring Christian Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. (Tommy Nelson)

I Am Found, by Laura Dingman, creative arts director, The Creek, Indianapolis, Indiana. (Moody)
