Testimonials
Since 2013, the Illumination Book Awards have honored books that inspire, uplift, and enrich readers through faith-based and spiritually meaningful content. Each year, we are privileged to recognize authors and publishers whose work encourages hope, purpose, and positive change. Below is a selection of titles from past Illumination Book Award recipients, along with their personal testimonials about how receiving this recognition has helped expand their reach, strengthen their credibility, and connect their message with more readers.
“We thank you again for the honor of the IPPY Award! I have to tell you that Dick has so much enjoyed wearing his medal. He wore it for several weeks after the ceremony, much to the amusement of his bandmates. But his fans were quite charmed by it. I have to tell you that Dick has now won five awards for this book, but none of the others have offered the recipients the honor and ceremony that IPPY has created for its winners. Class act, Jim.”

“It’s made a huge difference in my sales, and was the key factor in convincing me to go to a second printing. The IPPY gold seal looks great on the new cover, and I think it’s opening some doors to publication reviews.”
