Obviously, how Amazon and its seller categorize books is fairly arbitrary and this doesn't mean anything- but still - I was thinking we'd get some books on UUism, books from the Goodreads UU group, books from the UUA common read. But the Top 25 Bestselling Unitarian Universalist books include:
#1 Powerful morning prayers for Christians. OK sure that's 10% of us but I can see why it' the best selling.
#2 & #5 Laws of Attraction based books. Really?
#4 and #11 and #14 The Kingdom of Cults, helping Christians identify false ideologies masquerading as religion. Hmmmmmm.
#18 is an academic text on " religious history from 330 B.C. to 330 A.D." OK
#25 When Religion Becomes Evil........... actually is useful from a UU perspective. Carry on!
#26 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a straight up psychology self help book. Are they trying to tell us something? Or does this get put into every religious category? Honestly that book probably would help anyone......
This is a lighthearted post, hopefully did not offend anyway.
