Christian Book Awards Finalists for 2009


The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) announces the finalists for the 2009 Christian Book Awards. Presented annually to the finest in Christian publishing since 1978, the Christian Book Awards honor titles in six categories: Bibles, Bible Reference & Study, Christian Life, Fiction, Children & Youth, and Inspiration & Gift.

The winner in each category will be announced on the opening night of the all-new Christian book consumer show Christian Book Expo on Thursday, March 19th in Dallas, TX. In addition, one title will be selected from the finalists to receive the top honor: Christian Book of the Year. The Christian Book of the Year award considers both editorial excellence and sales achievement.

Find out more about the Christian Book Awards Dinner celebration at www.christianbookexpo.com/christianbookawards. This will be an evening focused on the transforming power of Christian books. It will include a full dinner and feature author readings, author presentations of the awards and book signings. Complimentary copies of finalist titles will be gifted. This event is a benefit for the Global Publishers Alliance , a foundation that equips Christian publishers in developing countries.
