Zondervan's six finalists span five of Christianity Today's ten categories (Spirituality, Missions/Global Affairs, Christianity & Culture, Fiction, History/Biography, Theology/Ethics, Apologetics/Evangelism, Church/Pastoral Leadership, Biblical Studies and Christian Living).
The finalists are:

"Our goal is to positively impact the faith of believers and the faith formation of those who are searching, while glorifying Jesus Christ with every product we produce."
