An excerpt from the press release:
CINCINNATI – July 1, 2009 – Standard Publishing is pleased to recognize its two finalist nominations for the 2009 Retailers Choice Awards, which will be announced Monday, July 13, during the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) in Denver. Author Jan Kern’s book Seduced by Sex: Saved by Love (2008), from Kern’s “Live Free” series, was nominated in the Youth/Teen category . . .
Seduced by Sex: Saved by Love, the second in the “Live Free” series for young adults, deals with sexual promiscuity. In each book in the series, Kern tells us the true account of a Christian teenager dealing with a serious problem or addiction. The story unfolds in chapters that read like a novel, interspersed with chapters offering wise counsel and help for struggling teens and those who love them.
In Seduced by Sex: Saved by Love, Kern introduces us to Suzy, who gave herself sexually to her first boyfriend, then lived increasingly promiscuously seeking popularity and acceptance until she nearly lost her life as she spiraled into despair.
This is the second honor for Kern, whose first book in the “Live Free” series, Scars that Wound: Scars that Heal (2007), about self-injury, was nominated in 2008 for Book of the Year by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. The third book in the series, Eyes Online: Eyes on Life (2008) is about Internet addictions.
