Here is the big news from the Word Awards last night. Not only did my book “Psalms 365” win in the Devotional/Inspirational category, but among scores of books entered across all genres, it also took home the grand prize, the Grace Irwin Best Book of the Year Award. I’m surprised, humbled and honored.

Special thanks goes to various members of The Word Guild, who over the years have helped and encouraged me as a Christian author and writer. Specifically, I want to thank Kim Bangs who urged me to begin blogging. This eventually led to the publication of Psalms 365: Develop a life of Worship and Prayer.
Finally, specific to this book project, I want to thank editors Sue Fairchild and Susan K. Stewart, cover designer, Derinda Babcock, and publisher Deb Haggerty at Elk Lake Publishing. The whole team has been a pleasure to work with.
To God be the glory.
Praise God indeed David!
I am overjoyed for you and your family, may God continue to guide and bless you brother.
Thanks, Alan! Your support across the Atlantic is appreciated.
Wow!!!
I am still rejoicing in God’s goodness!
Awesome congratulations!
Much thanks, Pastor Pete.
Oh this is wonderful David! Congratulations. I hope this award will inspire more people to bring your books into their home thus growing in the Lord as they devote 365 days to feeding on His Word. I am still praying for its continued translation so that it may further encourage believers worldwide.
Thanks for praying, Beth Alisan. Something is happening as you pray. There’s this double award, and last evening I got another devotion arrived translated into French. French, Spanish and Estonian are works in progress.
So happy for the recognition you deserve and I know whatever you do is for God’s glory. We are so enjoying volume three of the trilogy. Great application of Gods word in our lives.
I’m delighted to know you are both growing in your walk through the Psalms. This win is through a Canadian award program for Christian writers. I entered Volume 1. My publisher entered Volume 3 in a similar competition in the US. The award winners for that prize will be announced in May, 2022.
I’m hoping and praying for a similar result.
Thanks, Kathy.
Congratulations David! Praise the Lord! Your faithfulness in proclaiming the word, pointing souls to Jesus and encouraging a closer walk with the Master is rewarded. Thank you for all that you are doing for Jesus.
Much thanks, Louie. The Lord has been good to me!
