Book Overview

The standard style guide of the Christian publishing industry, The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, 4th Edition, compiled by veteran Zondervan editor Robert Hudson, contains clear guidance on style questions related to religious writing, including many topics not addressed in other references or online.Nearly half of this fourth revision is made up of new material, including information about turning blogs into books, the effects of digital media on writing, "adverbial doubles," "vanishing accents," word-choice strategies, endorser guidelines, and much more. It also contains an all-new "Word List" which makes up more than a third of the book. The most needful information remains--entries on capitalization, abbreviation, citations, fictional dialogue, and more--but it has all been updated to keep pace with changes in English language usage. This fourth edition also corresponds with The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition (2010), though it isn't afraid to chart new territory where that reference is unhelpful on issues of religious writing.Comprehensive yet easy-to-use, The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, 4th Edition, is a go-to resource for Christian authors, pastors, teachers, copy writers, editors, proofreaders, publishing and ministry professionals, executive assistants, and students--anyone who writes or edits as a part of their work or study--and for grammar aficionados everywhere.

The Bible for writers

This is a wonderful resource!! I have used it so many times, the dog ears have double dog ears! This book can turn your writing into a professional looking piece of material that will help you sell it much faster than trying to proof read your work yourself. Spell check can't even come close to doing the job this book can do for you.

Invaluable for the Christian writer

This book is invaluable to someone like myself who does a lot of Christian writing. I have referred to it often when writing articles for my Web site and newsletter and when working on my books and even on my Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition. It provides an overview of proper punctuation, capitalization, special formatting like italics and small caps, and abbreviations. Most any English grammars...

Just what I needed

This book addresses all the little questions a writer has in that moment of not being sure about grammar, sentence construction, but so much more. It could have been titled, "The Christian Writer's Second Best Friend". I keep it beside my computer next to my Dictionary and Thesaurus.

Required resource for Christian writers

"The Christian Writer's Manual of Style" provides the most exhaustive coverage of the special writing problems in the area of Christian publications that I have ever seen. This is easily the best book available on the subject of Christian writing style. Examples of the items covered here that are unlikely to be covered anywhere else include abbreviations for Bible books including apocryphal writings, the difference between...
