“Gospel Essentials” by Dr. Daniel R. Carfrey was nominated for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award
The US Review of Books recently announced the much-awaited results for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award.
“Gospel Essentials” by Dr. Daniel R. Carfrey, published by Author Reputation Press, was one of the nominees for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award. It was highly praised by Boze Herrington of the US Review of Books, highlighting that “The author’s book is a lucid and competently written look at some basic evangelical doctrines, broken down into short chapters with illustrative charts to sustain reader engagement. The author seems earnest in his desire to inform others about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and to save souls from an eternity of torment. The book adequately reflects the doctrinal beliefs and practices of many modern evangelical Christian churches. For example, he describes communion as consisting of bread and grape juice, in contrast to the traditional use of wine. In essence, the book fulfills the promise of its title, presenting an evangelical view of the gospel written with urgency and clarity.”
Eric Hoffer Book Award honors the memory of the great American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting salient writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its establishment, the Hoffer has become one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.
The US Review of Books supports the Eric Hoffer Project by publishing the results of the annual Eric Hoffer Award for Books. The Eric Hoffer Award is judged by a separate panel, under the direction of the Eric Hoffer Project.
