“The Sin Of Our 4Father” by Bernadette Guarnieri 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 Sin Of Our 4Father” by Bernadette Guarnieri, published by Author Reputation Press, was one of the nominees for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award. It was highly praised by Jennifer Hummer of the US Review of Books, highlighting that “While Blyana, Ajax, and Zuberi take on their individual earthly struggles, their three guardian angels fight against the Dark One and the dark soldiers. Protecting their earthly charges is their sole job, and the author describes their mission with heartfelt empathy. The guardian angels, too, understand that temptations are all around for their humans, and yet they love them regardless. The author’s love for humanity is palpable in this creative novel. Guarnieri’s deep belief that we are never alone and that all we need to do when we are feeling lonely is to ask for divine guidance is uplifting. Readers who enjoy inspiring tales of heavenly protection and intervention might find this book to be just what they are seeking.”

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.

Bernadette Guarnieri was born in British Guyana. She was the third of six children and was known as the sister willing to entertain her younger siblings with stories she created when she ran out of familiar stories to tell. She loved reading, and many days and nights she could be found curled up in a chair with her nose completely buried in a book, which often got her into trouble because her housework took a backseat to reading many times.

Naturally, her love for reading slowed down after she became a mother of three children—two daughters and one son. Soon the old habit returned, and she created stories to keep her children entertained. This went on for years until she became a grandmother, and that transferred to her grandkids. Finally, she decided to put some of her stories down on paper.

This story was created to help bring hope to others who may feel alone, as the author Bernadette felt when she became a single parent, living in New York with no family support system. There were many trials and temptations to overcome, and even when armed with the knowledge of the love of God and His love for us, sometimes she felt alone. As her faith and knowledge of God grew, she realized that so many times when she felt alone, angels were working to help her stay strong and overcome.

“I think this book can help people realize they are never alone and help is just a prayer away. Jesus’s blood is the cure for all sins and with His help and that of the angels, we can all win this battle.”

“The Sin Of Our 4Father” depicts the spiritual warfare that is waged every day for these three character’s eternal lives. It shows the lengths that our enemy, the lord of the underworld, will go to get them on his side and how hard the struggle is to overcome the many temptations placed before them. In the background of the spiritual realm, it shows their guardian angels fighting to help keep them on the straight and narrow.
