Multiple Lexham Press Titles Win 2023 Book Awards

The year is winding down and 2024 is on the horizon, which means it’s time for the annual book awards to be awarded. This year, multiple Lexham titles have won awards or were selected as finalists.

Christianity Today 2024 Book Awards

A Quiet Mind to Suffer With won an award in the Christian Living & Spiritual Formation category!

“I’m both grieved and grateful when I think of the suffering Bryant endured to give us something so wise, true, and beautiful. This book sheds conventional genres, somehow combining memoir, poetry, lecture, sermon, and essay all in one. I left wanting to know more of the patient, quiet trust in Jesus that Bryant found in the halls of the psychiatric ward.”
—Shar Walker, author and speaker, contributor to His Testimonies, My Heritage

In addition, two Lexham Press books were selected as finalists in two different categories:

• Pastor, Jesus Is Enough: Hope for the Weary, the Burned Out, and the Broken by Jeremy Writebol in the Church & Pastoral Leadership category.
• Ordinary Splendor: Living in God’s Creation by Lydia Jaeger in the Theology (popular) category.

Pastor, Jesus Is Enough wins more honorable mentions

Not only was Pastor, Jesus Is Enough named a finalist in the Christianity Today Book Awards, it was also selected as a finalist in two other book awards: an Award of Distinction in the Ministry category in The Gospel Coalition 2023 Book Awards and selected as a runner up in the 2023 For the Church Book Awards.

“A theologically stout but wonderfully devotional and highly applicational exhortation to pastors about the sufficiency of the gospel for ministry.”
—Jared C. Wilson, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry, Spurgeon College; Author in Residence, and For the Church Editorial Council Member
