Ah "Left Behind"...I got through about 60% of the first book before I had to toss it.

I've never read them, but I guess I was right to be creeped out when I found out that one of the graphic designers here at work is listening to them on CD?

That list of publishers mixes Evangelical with mainline houses: the mainline ones, like the Lutheran and Dutch reformed one, tend to put out dry tomes on dogma that Protestants of that type like.

Christians print and buy and read so many books. Illiterate is one thing they're not.

I can personally attest through painstaking experience that Penthouse Letters to the Editor books are available on the Kindle...

Having read/edited three of those "books" I can also safely say that all those "letters" are written by the same person, who I'm guessing to be, judging by the writing style, to be a 68 year old, Jewish writer living in the Bronx pretending to be a busty, slutty 28 year old blonde, white woman dissatisfied with her husband's "pink, picnic sausage" and determinded to encounter a little jungle love with the black mechanic living next door...

Augsburg Fortress is a good publisher, heavy in academic works. I had to read a lot of their books in college; I'd be happy to have had their books on a Kindle. I don't know about the rest of these publishers Amazon has on tap.
