Crux is a theological bookstore, which has served the Toronto School of Theology for years. The number of Christian bookstores in downtown Toronto has been shrinking for many years, and we are the last ones standing. We have lots of new customers coming into the store all the time. Sometimes new customers are surprised by what we do and do not carry. Like most bookstores, we order books based on our experience of what sells. Here are two lists for you to consider — 8 authors who do not sell at Crux, and 8 authors who sell very well at Crux. We draw no conclusions, but you can, if you’d like.
Eight Authors Who Do NOT Sell Well at Crux (alphabetically listed):
- Billy Graham
- Tim LaHaye
- Beverly Lewis
- Anne Graham Lotz
- Max Lucado
- Martin Luther
- Joyce Meyer
- Tullian Tchividjian
Eight Authors Who Sell Very Well Indeed at Crux (alphabetically again):
- G.K. Chesterton
- Pope Francis I
- Tim Keller
- C.S. Lewis
- Henri Nouwen
- J.I. Packer
- John R.W. Stott
- N.T. Wright
Ahhh C. S. Lewis. One of my favorites
