I am very excited to announce that Quaker author, Chuck Kleymeyer, a member of Langley Hill Friends Meeting (Virginia), recently received two national fiction prizes from the Associated Church Press (ACP) for his spiritual book, YESHU: A Novel for the Open-Hearted (Quaker Heron Press; YeshuNovel). The 2013-2014 awards are for best “Fiction – Printed Book” and best “Fiction – eBook.” ACP is a broad network of publishers, including publications such as the Christian Science Monitor, Sojourners Magazine, and Friends Journal. YESHU is a Quaker retelling of the New Testament story that is written for readers of all ages and spiritual backgrounds. The author offers a very accessible and human perspective on the life of Jesus, illustrating, through his inspiring prose and delightful stories, the deep connections between nature and spirit. This book is a treasure to share. People of all faiths and walks of life – and especially Quakers – will surely find joy and discovery in its pages. These stories with their seeds of wisdom can help cultivate peace and understanding in our hearts and communities. Please help us spread the word about the recognition the book has received. With this email I’ve included a printable notice to facilitate posting, mailing, tweeting, singing, sending by newsletter -- or however you wish to share details on the book with your community. Also, if you find it appropriate, you might include this notice or a summary in your newsletter or on your website. (The same information is pasted further below for your convenience.) If your members or First Day School teachers are interested in previewing parts of the book, there are excerpts to enjoy or teach with on the website: yeshunovel. Many thanks for your time and consideration. In Friendship, Ana Maria Kleymeyer Member, Friends Meeting of Washington Founder, Instruments for Change (And for full disclosure, daughter of the author!)
