My nomination: Worst Blog Comment of the Year I know, I know... we're only half-way through '08, but still... What could top this comment on the subject of Christians and tipping? "My wife and I have resolved this. We tip the same "$3 and a gospel tract" anywhere we eat regardless of where it is and how the service was. It is just silly pragmatism to think that the gospel will suffer because of the amount of money I leave for the waiter(ess) following the meal. On the other hand, it's also silly piety to think highly of myself and/or worry about my "image" in the first place. After all, If I'm presenting the gospel correctly to the waiter(ess) my poor tip will further testify to the fact that there was no good thing in me to merit my salvation." Here

If at first you don't succeed... "Our publishing committee discussed your book proposal today, and unfortunately decided not to acquire it for publication. Everyone on the committee thought the writing was first rate and on an important topic. But at this stage in our development, XXXX XXXX is not well equipped to market books to church leaders, which is obviously the primary market for your book. I wish we were because I really wanted us to publish your book. But without a good marketing and sales plan in place to reach this market, we would be doing you a disservice by publishing your book and not giving it the marketing and sales support it deserves. I think given the right publisher, you should have no trouble finding a home for your book. The obvious choices are Zondervan, Baker, and InterVarsity, but you might also consider Crossway, Moody, and B&H Publishing. Wherever your book lands, I fully expect it to do well and for its important message to be well received. Warmly, XXX XXX" Erg. Ah, well.. anyone know anyone at Zondervan, Baker, InterVarsity, Crossway, Moody, or B&H Publishing?? :)
