The Christy Awards winners were announced last Saturday. Editor Terry Whalin says the event was fun and gives a list of the winners, which aren’t on The Christy Awards site or in the news sources I’ve searched. FaithfulReader.com has the list and some reviews. Editor David Long has kicked up some discussion.

According the website, “the Christy Award is designed to:

1. Nurture and encourage creativity and quality in the writing and publishing of fiction written from a Christian worldview.
2. Bring a new awareness of the breadth and depth of fiction choices available, helping to broaden the readership.
3. Provide opportunity to recognize novelists whose work may not have reached bestseller status.
