First Time Author Wins Christianity Today Book Award!

(How does this happen and why did CT call it a "party crasher"?)

From the editors of Christianity Today regarding winning reviews and book awards:

"...the brutal truth is that traditional publishers furnish nearly all the titles that garner review coverage ... [and] for our annual Book Awards. That's why it intrigued me, as I reviewed the current slate of honorees, to spy a few party crashers: one second-place showing in the Fiction category..."

40: A Collection of Modern-Day Parables

John Cleveland (Publish Authority)

In this eclectic mix of stories, Cleveland gives Jesus' parables a modern twist, applying a range of genres and situations that resonate across a spectrum of interests and lived experiences. He presents biblical teachings in imaginative ways that are faithful to Scripture and always point back to Jesus. I can imagine these stories launching lively conversations with fellow believers and nonbelievers alike. —Sara Brunsvold, novelist, author of The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip

Book Description

"40" is an invitation to reflect on our often messy and complicated experience as humans and the possibility of a God that loves us in spite of this. These forty short stories avoid being preachy or religious while illustrating through everyday situations that there is more going on behind the scenes than we can see. Lighthearted, touching and sometimes silly, readers will find themselves in most (if not all) of these tales.
  • If you enjoyed The Shack, The Tale of the Tardy Oxcart or The Book of Virtues, you will savor reading 40.
  • 40: A Collection of Modern-Day Parables takes the message of the gospels and infuses them with today's elements and circumstances.
