Longwood, FL (PRWEB) December 19, 2008 -- In August 2008, Xulon Press launched the first-ever Christian Choice Book Awards, a contest which awarded certificates and prize money to 66 Christian authors for outstanding literary achievement in 22 categories. The contest, which was open to all self-published authors who released a Christian book in 2007-2008, received a record 407 entrants in a variety of categories that ranged from Christian living to poetry.
Receiving top marks were Grand Prize Winner Christopher H.K. Persaud's Evolution, a book that denounces evolutionary thought as beyond the real of real science, and First Runner-Up Waneta Dawn's Behind the Hedge, and Second Runner-Up Rick Brown's Out of the Forest. Each of these books was selected by the judges to be highlighted in this shortlist of favorites. Approximately $1,500 in prize money was awarded to the grand prize winners, and they received commemorative plaques in recognition of their achievement as well.
As the first contest of its kind in the Christian publishing arena, the Christian Choice Book Awards represents a unique opportunity for self-published Christian authors to make their voice heard.
