At the Christian Resources Together, the annual book trade conference held at Swanwick there were presentation of awards to mark the best books and other resources of the past year, as voted for by members of the Christian book trade (https://www.christianresourcestogether.co.uk/awards.htm).   Bob Hartman, our guest speaker at our forthcoming annual lecture, won not one but two awards during the evening.  He won an award for the best children’s or youth title for “Bob Hartman’s Rhyming Bible” (SPCK) and also an award for his overall contribution to Christian publishing (the last award being sponsored by the Association of Christian Writers).
