Winners in 13 categories were announced for the 2025 Christian Book Award, sponsored by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer (WaterBrook) was named Christian Book of the Year, and the ECPA Pinnacle Award was presented to Josh McDowell and to Kay Arthur in special recognition of the outstanding contribution of their body of work to the industry, church, and society at large.
Organizers said Practicing the Way "grew out of a five-year spiritual formation initiative at Bridgetown Church in Portland, where Comer served as founding pastor, to organize community around the simple idea: practicing the Way of Jesus together."
