When the finalists for the Excellence in Editing Award were announced several weeks ago, I was thrilled to learn that my book, A Wife of Valor: Your Strategic Importance in God’s Battle Plan, had made the list. Somehow, though, it didn’t fully sink in until this week, when I received the award sticker.

In this age of icon-driven computing, a picture is worth a thousand words. So here’s a peek at the official seal: 

As I affixed the seals to the covers of the books I will be taking to the SoCal Christian Writers Conference in two weeks, I thought, “This is it. This is really happening!”

I’m looking forward to the conference, and the book signing, and the final dinner when the award winners will be announced. I’m thrilled that I get to be a part of it all. Thank you, Christian Editors Network, for this amazing honor!
