Moody Publishers is pleased to announce the winners of multiple titles in The Gospel Coalition 2023 Book Awards, and the Christianity Today’s 2024 Book Awards.
The Gospel Coalition presented an award of distinction in Evangelism and Apologetics to God Speaks Science: What Neurons, Giant Squid, and Supernovae Reveal About Our Creator by John Van Sloten. Each year a panel of judges evaluates the best Christian books across 12 categories, choosing 24 as recommended helpful resources for individuals and the church. Two titles are chosen from each category, reflecting both an overall and award of distinction winners.
Christianity Today awarded three Moody Publishers’ titles in their respective category: 14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible, by James Coakley – Bible & Devotional, This Seat’s Saved, by Heather Holleman – Young Adults, and The Grace Marriage: How the Gospel and Intentionality Transform Your Marriage, by Brad and Marilyn Rhoads – Marriage and Family. The purpose of the awards is to highlight the books most likely to shape evangelical life, thought, and culture. “Our awards honor top titles in areas like theology, discipleship, apologetics, and missions, as determined by an array of knowledgeable judges. We hope these books bring glory to God, attention to deserving authors, and wisdom and discernment to believers of all stripes.” Matt Reynolds, Associate Editor, Books.
“We’re so happy to have these wonderful books and authors honored by CT and TGC,” said Randall Payleitner, Publisher at MP. “Whether it is helping readers get back to their Bibles, middle schoolers find their place at the table, married couples choosing grace in their daily interactions, or everyday readers see God in the whole of His creation—these four award-winning books are perfectly timed, and delightfully written! I’m proud to partner with faithful, expert, inspiring authors like Jim Coakley, Heather Holleman, Brad and Marilyn Rhoads, and John Van Sloten to reach readers, right where they are, with books that draw them closer to God.”
