Waging Peace–Changing the World
After seeing my 2nd novel win awards, I was thrilled to see my 3rd is doing just as well. In the category of “Religious Fiction,” A Violent Light was a finalist for the 2017 National Indies Excellence Awards. And it won the 2017 Next Generation Indies Award.
My hope is that these awards convince new readers to try this book, and allow God to take them to a new place of understanding and desire for peace.
