Geez garners tops awards at church convention

Aiden, May 6, 04:57 PM

Geez magazine won major awards at the Canadian Church Press convention in Cambridge, Ontario early in May 2008.

We received six first-place honours for magazines (best cover, origninal artwork, non-fiction article, opinion piece, letters and first place for “general excellence”), two seconds (feature article and poetry), and two honourable mentions (personal experience article and Experiments section)

Here at Geez we straddle the boundary between the church world and the regular world. Hence we appreciate these honours from the church press. At the same time we also (vainly?) seek recognition from the regular magazine world, which we got last year at Canada’s Western Magazine Awards (see story here). - Aiden Enns, publisher, Geez magazine

  1. Hot New Book Release From CSN,

    Are you interested in a comprehensive narrative of the genuine gospel story of “Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ?” You don’t have to flip back and forth between the four gospels or use a concordance. Everything is right here at your fingertips. Imagine hearing the gospel accounts for the first time in “surround sound,” as details from multiple writers provide a fuller, richer telling of this amazing story. While many stories in the synoptic gospels are similar, each man writes from his own perspective and to a different audience. Hearing all four voices in one reading brings a new, more complete understanding of the life and times of Christ. A must read for all spiritual leaders, this easy read 278-page paperback is perfectly suitable for Youth Ministries, teens, college students and adults. It encourages anyone to become a biblical scholars of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Chapter illustrations and headings, such as “A Withered Right Hand,” keep the reader focused on Christ’s life and message. Whether one has recently come to faith or is preparing to embark on missionary service, this marvelous teaching guide is a valuable resource. Suitable for any teenager or college student, it combines the King James gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into a single narrative. Nearly 120 Old Testament references are embedded throughout the body of the text for scriptural validation of the gospel, proving without a doubt that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. A portion of this wonderful gift of “Bible Notes” can be reviewed at http://www.jesuslittleflock.com/biblenotes.htm. If your church organization wishes to place an order, please contact http://www.CSNbooks.com and select “Book Store” or call 1 (866) 484-6184, 9-5pm (PST).

    May God continue to bless you,

    Brother: Jonathan B. Hobbs
