The \u201cEvangelical Christian Publishers Association\u201d (ECPA) is a worldwide non-profit organization made up of multiple member companies that play integral roles in the publishing and sharing Christian material internationally. The \u201cEvangelical Christian Publishers Association\u201d has strengthened the Christian publishing industry by facilitating networking, providing information, and presenting advocacy opportunities throughout the industry since 1974. As a result, members have successfully created and released innovative Christian content.<\/p>\n

Since 1978, the \u201cChristian Book Award<\/a>\u201d program has acknowledged the most exceptional selection of Christian books. Contingent on unique content, distinct design, and positive influence, the \u201cChristian Book Award\u201d program winners are receiving one of the earliest and notable awards in the religious publishing industry.<\/p>\n

The \u201cEvangelical Christian Publishers Association\u201d released the list of 14 winners for the 2021 Christian Book Awards in 12 different categories, one of which had a tie in the Audio category and a twofold win for Faith & Culture and Christian Book of the Year categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe the Bridge: Pursuing God\u2019s Heart for Racial Reconciliation\u201d by Latasha Morrison won the prestigious Christian Book of the Year award as well as the Faith & Culture award. The winning novel invites Christians to gain a more profound understanding of the need for racial reconciliation in a divided culture. It aims to convey racial literacy and cultural intelligence to help educate people on a different perspective. Morrison\u2019s triumphant work was her first book published by \u201cWaterBrook.\u201d<\/p>\n
