Mystic Buddha Publishing House today announced that Blue Skies Buddha, the acclaimed biography of the American spiritual teacher Rama – Dr. Frederick Lenz, has received two prestigious Finalist awards for Best Books of 2015 from USA Book News. The book won the Finalist award in the categories of Biography and Spiritual: General.
“The book is based on 15 years of interviews and research," says author Liz Lewinson. "The biography tells an important story about a compelling teacher and an exciting time in our history, from 1970 through 1990, when non-establishment spiritual teachers brought brilliant new life to the American landscape. As you read the book, you are introduced to the basics of American Buddhism in an innovative, fun and exciting way.”
Roger Cantu, Editor in Chief of Mystic Buddha Publishing House, states, “the fact that Blue Skies Buddha won against a crowded field in both the category of Biography and Spiritual: General demonstrates the broad appeal of the material. We believe that readers of all ages and backgrounds will find this a warm and fascinating holiday read. We’re pleased that the USA Book News awards in two categories confirms our experience.”
According to USA Book News, the 2015 awards represent “a phenomenal mix of books from a wide array of publishers throughout the United States.
