A recent poll by Christianity Today showed that most American Christians read these types of books:
- Fiction: 20%
- History/Biography: 14%
- Biblical Studies: 13%
- Theology/Ethics: 11%
- Spirituality: 9%
- Christian Living: 8%
- Christianity & Culture: 7%
- Apologetics/Evangelism: 6%
- Something else: 6%
- The Church/Pastoral Leadership: 3%
- Missions/Global Affairs: 2 %
Of course, for someone like me who works internationally, it is always sad to see the amount Americans in general (let alone just Christians) read in global affairs and missions. Still, I am intrigued by the something else category!
