EXTRA: International Book Awards

~ One Precious Pearl — Second Award ~ 

LOS ANGELES  –  JPX Media Group announced the winners and finalists of THE 2011 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS (IBA) on May 11, 2011.  Over 300 winners and finalists were announced in over 140 categories covering print and audio books.  Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO, said “The 2011 results represent a phenomenal mix of books from a wide array of publishers throughout the world.”  Winners and finalists came from 11 different countries.

“2011 Runner-up” in the “Religion: Christian” category was awarded to One Precious Pearl: God’s Design for His Church by Robert Lloyd Russell (paperback, 978-0-7414-6232-9).  This thought-provoking book provides fascinating parallels between the universal church and a pearl.  Devout Christian scholars and casual Christian readers have found the book enlightening, enriching, practical, and most importantly memorable.  

Earlier this year, Reader Views Literary Awards named One Precious Pearl as their 2011 Book of the Year in their “Religion: Eastern/Western” category.   

Since its release One Precious Pearl has received many excellent reviews.

For example, the prestigious Midwest Book Review awarded 5.0 stars (out of 5.0 possible) to this book. Part of their review stated that One Precious Pearl is, “a thoughtful and highly recommended pick.”
