The Great Bible Swindle by Bible Society CEO Greg Clarke has won this year’s Australian Christian Book of the Year Award.

Judges described the winning book as a ‘concise, persuasive and friendly appeal to read the Bible’. It was selected from a shortlist of eight titles, ahead of second-prize winner In God They Trust by Roy Williams (Bible Society Australia) and third-prize winner C S Lewis and the Body in the Basement by Kel Richards (Strand Publishing).

The $2500 award celebrates ‘excellence in Australian Christian writing’ and is presented annually by SparkLit to a book written by an Australian citizen and published by an Australian publisher. Last year’s winner was Forged with Flames: A True Story of Courage and Survival by Ann Fogarty and Anne Crawford (Wild Dingo Press).
