2009 Christian Book Award Winners
|
The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association is pleased to announce the Christian Book Award Winners for 2009, honoring the year’s finest in Christian publishing. Since 1978 the Christian Book Awards (formerly the Gold Medallion Awards) have awarded excellence in six categories: Bibles, Bible Reference & Study, Children & Youth, Inspiration & Gift, Christian Life, and Fiction. Five finalists are selected in each category following a stringent judging process by judging panels specially selected for each category. Each title is evaluated and scored based on category-specific criteria such as content, literary quality, design and impact. The top scoring book in each category is named the Christian Book Award winner. The Christian Book of the Year is chosen among the finalists based on its overall impact on the consumer as measured by sales. The Christian Book Award winners and Christian Book of the Year were announced at the Christian Book Expo in Dallas, Texas, on March 19th. 2009 Finalists Program Information Christian Book Award Dinner |
