EEW Magazine Announces Official Winner of Its ‘Best Book of the Year’ Award

March 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Today, Empowering Everyday Women (EEW) Online Magazine, the nation’s leading web publication for Christian women of color, announced Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, author of Set Free to Live Free: Breaking Through the Seven Lies Women Tell Themselves (Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group), as its official ‘Best Book of the Year’ award recipient. The honor is bestowed annually upon new African American Christian women authors in recognition of their outstanding written work. Dr. Dalton-Smith, whose award-winning book was chosen from a nationwide pool of authors who submitted books to EEW Magazine’s Nomination’s committee, is featured on the March 2012 cover of EEW (http://www.eewmagazine.com/saundradaltonsmith).

“We received such high-quality entries from publishers and individual authors from across the country which made the decision really tough,” said Dianna Hobbs, President and CEO of EEW Magazine who is a regular advertising and book promotions partner with the world’s largest and best known Christian publishers. “But when I read Dr. Dalton-Smith’s book last year, I knew it was the right one without any doubt. EEW Magazine is proud to endorse this powerful and insightful book.”

“I’m delighted to see Dr. Dalton-Smith’s book receive this recognition,” stated Vicki Crumpton, Executive Editor at Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group. “When I first read the book proposal for Set Free to Live Free, I thought about how I’d love to have a physician who took the time to understand the whole me.  Not just my lab results, or my aches and pains, but ME.  The spiritual and emotional side that impacts my physical well-being.  Now, every woman can have that kind of caring and compassionate guide for her life.”

EEW Magazine's "Best Book of the Year Award" is a special free program for first-time authors. The only one of its kind, this award helps launch black Christian women writers into the national spotlight by having their new book endorsed by the nation's leading web publication for Christian women of color.

“When I wrote the book, I really didn’t know what to expect. Was it for one woman or thousands of women or what?” Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith told EEW Magazine in an interview. “So it really was just a great confirmation that God has brought me to this moment to write this book for women and that He wanted to get this message out there to more of them.” Her full story is available in the March 2012 issue of EEW Magazine available now at http://www.eewmagazine.com/saundradaltonsmith.
