2009 Fiction Finalists for ECPA Book Awards

The 2009 Finalists for the ECPA Christian Book Award (formerly known as The Gold Medallion) have been announced. Awards are given in six categories (Bible, Bible Reference & Study, Christian Life, Fiction, Children & Youth, and Inspiration & Gift) and you can see the complete list of finalists here. Winners will be announced at the Christian Book Expo on March 19, 2009. I just wanted to mention the finalists in the fiction category, since I read that category more than any other. Here's the list...

I've only had the opportunity to read 'Home Another Way'. How about you? Have you had a chance to read these novels, and if you have do you a have a favorite that you'll be rooting for?
