I review a lot of curriculum every year.  Some DVD-driven.  Some homework intensive.  Some story-driven visual media.  I review everything.

Although my blog is sponsored by several of the larger publishers (much appreciated), it was interesting to see that 2 of the 3 most popular reviews I did were for Not a Fan and Basic: Who Is God; both from publishers that don’t sponsor me (hint).

Why did I rank these reviews separately from yesterday’s top 10 posts of 2011?  I decided that this list may be an indication of sales strength.  8 of 2011’s 10 most popular reviews were written in 2011.

  1. Review: Not a Fan (posted in September, 2010)
  2. New from Beth Moore | James: Mercy Triumphs
  3. Basic: Who Is God (by Francis Chan)
  4. The Story: A New Church-Wide Campaign from Zondervan
  5. Review: Life’s Toughest Questions (from Lifeway’s Platform Series) (Posted in August, 2010)
  6. New Church-Wide Campaign from Bill Hybels: The Power of a Whisper
  7. Crave: An Exploration of the Human Spirit (a 7 session study from Lifeway)
  8. Review: Walking with God in the Desert
  9. Courageous: A New Church-Wide Campaign (based on the movie)
  10. Review| Gospel Revolution: A New DVD-Driven Study from J.D. Greear

    Thanks Mark, your reviews and insights are always truthful and provocative. I’ve added Francis Chan’s works to my 2012 wish list – must get list!

    I think you’ll like it! Very challenging, as most of Chan’s work is.
