“The Torch of Christ: Revised Edition” by Carl L. Lansdown 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.
“The Torch of Christ: Revised Edition” by Carl L. Lansdown, published by Author Reputation Press, was one of the nominees for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award. It was highly praised by Michael Radon of the US Review of Books, highlighting that “Lansdown’s book is structured as an interactive experience, presenting readers with specific and relevant Bible passages to read and soak in. These are augmented by some useful context in regard to modern perspectives and challenges. Finally, helpful question prompts allow the reader to add themselves to these lessons. This last part is crucial because if readers are to successfully make these kinds of changes in their behavior and life, they have to do so in their own way and with their own strengths and weaknesses. More than just consisting of simple chapter and verse memorization, this book is about seeing the opportunities to be led by Jesus’ example and being given the blueprint to take those chances. Readers who find that mere study is not empowering enough, or who desire to follow their faith but don’t know how to begin, will benefit greatly from this book’s teaching.”
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.
