The Christy Awards were first awarded in 2000, and honour excellence in Christian fiction in several categories. You can find out more about them here.
Against the Tide, winner in the Historical Romance category, tells the story of Lydia, a young lady living in Boston, and working as a translator for the US Navy. Lydia's language skills bring her to Alexander Banebridge, a mysterious man working to end the opium trade. When his enemies gain ground, Alexander is forced to turn to Lydia for help...
The Suspense Category Winner, Rare Earth, features Marc Royce, who we first met in Lion of Babylon. In this story, Marc is sent to audit a relief organisation working in Kenyan refugee camps. However, his true mission is to focus on the area's reserves of minerals essential to high tech industry. These elements, known as 'rare earths' have inflamed tensions worldwide, and stoked tribal rivalries. Can Marc do anything to help restore justice?
Finally, in The Breath of Dawn, winner of the Contemporary Romance Award, two people with traumatic pasts must confront them in order to build a future - if they survive!
As well as these three prize-winners the author Lynn Austin, who has written a number of successful novels for Bethany House and who is an eight-times Christy Award winner, was inducted into the Christy Awards Hall of Fame. Karen Hancock, who is also a Bethany author and the winner of four Christy Awards, was also inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Well done to all the authors, and well done to Bethany House's staff, who clearly know a good book when they see it!
You can order any or all of these books in the UK via your local Christian bookshop, or any other bricks and mortar or online bookshop.
All three are also available as ebooks.
