I don't know that this is the best reason to choose books, but I have a strange affection for books from Barbour Publishing. It isn't their award-winning authors or fascinating story-lines (both statements made tongue-in-cheek). Instead it is the fact that Barbour Publishing is located in Uhrichsville, Ohio. If you have ever been to Uhrichsville you can understand my frequent amazement that it would be home to a publishing company. Located in a tiny town in the middle of rural Ohio, Barbour has been making a name for itself in the Christian publishing circle, not necessarily for producing great literary works but more for reproducing inexpensive editions of Christian classics from time gone by.
Barbour's novels provide an afternoon's distraction, a quick break from the routine of life and, most importantly to me, a connection to home.
