“Wake Up, Listen Up, or Go Down” by Robert Dobranski was nominated for the 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award

Every year, everyone has been waiting for the great news. And now, the results for the Eric Hoffer Book Award have been released.

Robert Dobranski’s “Wake Up, Listen Up, or Go Down,” published by Author Reputation Press, participated in the 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award. This masterpiece is a narrative of end-of-the-world events from the perspective of the Pre-Wrath Rapture. It starts with the Two Revelation Witnesses of Revelation 11, then the Apostasy (the falling away of professing Christians who will be at odds with the teachings of the Two Revelation Witnesses), then the Anti-Christ appears, and the Rapture of the Church occurs during his ministry. The Day of the Lord begins shortly after the Rapture of the Church, and the culmination of all of the preceding events will be the Second Coming of the Lord.

The Eric Hoffer Book Award commemorates the memory of the famous American philosopher Eric Hoffer by honoring outstanding writing and the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its foundation, Hoffer has grown to become one of the most prestigious worldwide book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.

The Eric Hoffer Book Award committee has completed its judging process for another year. Each person who participated and submitted their entry is appreciated. Thank you for your support. The award is facilitated by The Eric Hoffer Project, dedicated to maintaining Hoffer’s work and legacy.

This heartwarming patronage has helped make the Eric Hoffer Book Award one of the world’s premium independent book awards. Every book was carefully read and evaluated. Being part of this is such an honor and privilege for many.

“Wake Up, Listen Up, or Go Down” by Robert Dobranski is highly commended by Barbara Bamberger Scott of the US Review of Books, who highlights that “Dobranski, who has been a Christian educator and preacher in a nondenominational church for many years, has collected the material for this highly detailed treatise with obvious diligence and a genuine zeal to share what could be seen as a warning, and a promise, to all serious Christians. He takes an objective stance, letting the plethora of quotations from the Book of Revelation and other texts provide the proof that supports his thesis. He alerts the reader that God’s followers do not use secretive methods because God is available to all, “not hiding anything.” This strongly worded message will form a powerful basis for serious, studious Christians seeking further clarification about the end times and God’s intentions for His people.”

Pastor “Bob” Dobranksi was born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania and graduated from King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA, with a BS degree in Business Administration. 

He moved to Southern California in the early ‘70s and received his MDiv degree from Biola University in La Mirada, CA. He began as an Administrative Pastor but has been a teaching pastor in a small non-denominational church for well over twenty-five years.

The author was also interviewed by CBS Radio’s Benji Cole in the program People of Distinction. The program is one of the most wide-ranging radio shows in the United States, hosted by Benji Cole and Al Cole from CBS Radio. People of Distinction is the right fit for authors and readers to discover newly published books, mostly written by passionate and independent authors. Benji Cole, the host of the program, is a world-class interviewer, video formulator, Los Angeles actor, and filmmaker. He’s shared the acting stage with superstar Tom Hanks.

“Wake Up, Listen Up, or Go Down” is about the ministry of the Two Prophets in The Book of Revelation, but it will also be a challenge to the people of The Way to see if their lives and ministries are aligned with the Prophet’s teachings and ministry. If they are aligned, you are blessed in the Lord. However, if they are not aligned, you must Wake Up, Listen Up, or Go Down.
