~ One Precious Pearl Wins Third Award ~
May 30, 2011, MISSISSAGUGA, ON – The Word Guild has selected One Precious Pearl: God’s Design for His Church by Robert Lloyd Russell as a FINALIST for the Book of the Year in their “Book: Biblical Studies” category. Category winners will be announced at a black-tie Gala Dinner at World Vision Canada Headquarters near Toronto on June 15. The Word Guild is the prestigious literary award program for Canadian authors. (Robert Lloyd Russell often remarks that he is a tri-citizen: Canada, his native country; the United States where he lives; and heaven.)
One Precious Pearl: God’s Design for His Church has received two prior significant recognitions:
BOOK OF THE YEAR – “Religion (Eastern/Western)”
Reader Views; Literary Awards; 1-March-2011
RUNNER-UP – “Religion: Christianity”
International Book Awards; 11-May-2011
Since its release One Precious Pearl has received many excellent reviews. For example, Dianne Taylor of Foreword Clarion Reviews wrote: “5 Stars (out of 5)… That Russell’s explication is exhaustive there can be little doubt… Though Russell’s parsing of the pearl analogy is extensive, the book remains solidly grounded in the land of the laity, making it accessible to virtually anyone who picks it up… A simple but intelligent analysis of an often overlooked parable in the New Testament, One Precious Pearl can be appreciated by a wide range of readers, none of whom will ever look at a pearl quite the same again.”
