Did you know Answers in Genesis publishes many of our own books through our publishing arm, Answers Press? The writers, editors, and designers involved in the publishing process are dedicated and talented, and their hard work results in more people hearing the message of biblical authority and the gospel. And sometimes it also results in awards!
We recently submitted two of our new books for consideration in the Selah Awards, an industry-wide contest for published Christian authors sponsored by the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference (BRMCWC) to honor the best in Christian publishing. We entered:
Both of these books were selected as finalists in their categories, which means they scored well. That in itself is an accomplishment. From the finalists, entries are awarded first, second, or third based on judges’ scores.
Awesome Facts About Space won first place in the Children’s Literature category! And not only that, it was selected as the 2025 Selah Children’s Book of the Year!
Awesome Facts About Space won first place in the Children’s Literature category! And not only that, it was selected as the 2025 Selah Children’s Book of the Year! That means it scored the best out of a large number of entries.
This excellent book was also the gold medal winner in the Education category for another contest, the 2025 Illumination Book Awards. So Awesome Facts About Space is now a multi-award-winning book!
A big congratulations to our team for this huge accomplishment. If you haven’t checked out this excellent book yet, I encourage you to order a copy today. As kids explore the universe from planets to galaxies to nebulae, they’ll discover the amazing power of our Creator God. It’s a great resource!
Oh, and if you or your child is fascinated by the heavens, we also have another new book called Rocket Science Confirms the Bible by Rob Webb that examines rockets, space exploration, and more through a biblical lens. And we have our special Astronaut Encounter event—July 12, 2025, at the Ark Encounter—featuring three generations of astronauts (Captain Barry Wilmore, Colonel Jeff Williams, and General Charlie Duke). This event, sponsored by our friends at BJU Press, is going to be a one-of-a-kind day! Be sure to register today—the special dinner is already sold out! (Registration includes two-day admission to the Ark Encounter).
Congratulations again to our Answers Press team on their Selah and Illumination awards!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
