ECPA NAMES 72 FINALISTS FOR 2023 CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® PROGRAM

Record-breaking year yields 10 ties in 12 categories

Winners to be announced on May 9th at the ECPA Awards Celebration in Nashville, featuring Philip Yancey and Luci Shaw

http://www.christianbookawards.com(TEMPE, ARIZ., April 6, 2023) — The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) names today the finalists in 12 categories for the 2023 Christian Book Award® program.  From a record-breaking pool of nearly 400 entries, with significant growth in the Children, Audio, and Bible Study categories, these 72 finalists represent the work of 28 Christian publishers and imprints. Twelve ties are announced in ten categories, with two ties each in Christian Living and Young People’s Literature.

Shackled: One Woman’s Dramatic Triumph Over Persecution, Gender Abuse, and a Death Sentence by Mariam Ibraheem with Eugene Bach (Whitaker House) placed in both the Audio and Biography & Memoir categories.  Max Lucado’s You Can Count on God (Thomas Nelson) also placed in two categories: Devotion & Gift and Young People’s Literature.

Finalists represent the industry’s finest in categories ranging from New Author and Ministry Resources, to Faith & Culture and Bible Study; reflecting a variety of topics from a biblical lens including anxiety, sexuality, racial justice, inclusion, grief, suffering, nationalism, employee well-being, and more.

The winners in each category, along with the 2023 Christian Book of the Year®, will be announced at the ECPA Awards Celebration, held Tuesday evening May 9th in Nashville, during the ECPA Leadership Summit, amidst an audience of Christian publishing executives, managers, and industry guests.

The evening will feature award-winning author PHILIP YANCEY, who will keynote the event and receive the industry’s Pinnacle Award in special recognition of the outstanding contribution of his body of work to the industry, church, and society at large.  Also honored that evening with the industry’s Kenneth N. Taylor Lifetime Achievement Award, will be renown writer and poet LUCI SHAW, in recognition of her innovative, influential and enduring work in Christian publishing. She will receive the award and share a poem she wrote for the occasion.

“The Christian Book Awards are a key component of ECPA’s industry recognition programs, honoring publishers and authors for books of substance and impact,” said ECPA president Jeff Crosby. “We congratulate each of the finalists for their commitment to excellence in Christian publishing.”
