Howard VanTill has had his writings published by Eerdmans, InterVarsity
Press, and perhaps others.
Hugh Ross's most recent books (at least some of them) are published by
NavPress.

My questions to all ASAers: How many of you would find it of interest to
have some kind of guideline or resource on which publishers are open to
publishing books or booklets which treat topics in science from a
Christian point of view, but not a YEC point of view? If this matter
interests you, what kind of information would you find useful?

It _may_ be possible that some guideline or informational resource along
these lines might be prepared or encouraged by the ASA Communications
Commission, of which I am a members. If there is enough interest, the
ComCom may try to respond to this need. If we attempt to do so, we'll
need help from a lot of you who have experience, with both publishing and
with rejections!
