Crossway Books is excited to have three finalists for the 2009 Christian Book Awards. Since 1978 the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association has recognized quality and encouraged excellence by presenting the ECPA Christian Book Awards (formerly known as Gold Medallion) each year.
After a rigorous judging process, five finalists are selected in each of six categories: Bibles, Fiction, Children & Youth, Inspiration & Gift, Bible Reference & Study, Christian Life.
The winner from each category will be announced at the Christian Book Expo 2009.
Crossway’s finalists:
The ESV Study Bible (The Bible Category): The ESV Study Bible was created to help people understand the Bible in a deeper way—to understand the timeless truth of God’s Word as a powerful, compelling, life-changing reality. To accomplish this, the ESV Study Bible combines the best and most recent evangelical Christian scholarship with the highly regarded ESV Bible text. The result is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published—with 2,752 pages of extensive, accessible Bible resources.
Spectacular Sins by John Piper (Christian Life Category): John Piper poignantly shares what God wants us to know about his sovereignty and Christ’s supremacy when we encounter sin or tragedy. These bold, biblical assurances and joy-infused declarations will bolster your trust in the utter sovereignty of God and strengthen your surety in him.
Hope . . . the Best of Things by Joni Eareckson Tada (Inspiration and Gift Category): Her wheelchair has taught this beloved author a lesson for us all: that hope really is the best of things when we give it a chance. Tada’s stories and scriptural encouragement, as well as her personal insights about suffering and the goodness of God, give new life to the discouraged and new perspective on our difficulties.
