I Am Honored to Receive the Eternal Perspective Christian Literary Award for my Novel Left Behind!

I can hardly believe it! I am beyond excited and truly honored to share that my novel, Left Behind, has won the Eternal Perspective Christian Literary Award!

Writing this book was an incredibly personal journey. Left Behind explores grief, loss, and the power of faith to heal and uplift. It was my hope that this story would bring comfort to those who have experienced loss and remind readers that even in our darkest moments, God’s love is constant. To have it recognized with this award is both humbling and deeply meaningful to me.

When I first set out to write Left Behind, I knew I wanted to create a story that reflected the real struggles we face when we lose someone we love—but also the incredible strength that comes through an eternal perspective. Faith doesn’t erase our pain, but it does give us hope. Knowing that this book has resonated with others and has been acknowledged for its message is such an incredible blessing.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Rhemalda Publishing for believing in this story, to the readers who have shared their own experiences and testimonies with me, and, of course, to the judges of the Eternal Perspective Christian Literary Award for this incredible honor.

This award is not just a recognition of Left Behind—it’s a reminder that stories have the power to heal, inspire, and strengthen faith. If even one person finds comfort in these pages, then every moment spent writing this book was worth it.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement! I can’t wait to see where this journey leads next.

With gratitude,
Emmaline Hoffmeister
