Heaven Time · 2014 Living Now Book Awards Silver Medal

The Living Now Book Awards published its 2014 medalists on October 16, 2014. In the program’s Metaphysical category, Heaven Time: Discovering a New Way of Life After a Near-Death Experience is listed as the Silver Medal title, with Lorri Brewer named as author and Aquarius Publishing named as publisher.

The official result

The primary evidence is the Living Now Book Awards’ own 2014 medalist record. Category 19 is labeled “Metaphysical,” and the results list a Gold, Silver and Bronze title. Heaven Time occupies the Silver position.

That distinction matters. This page records a specific award result rather than converting it into a broader claim about sales, critical consensus or scientific authority. The award recognizes the book within the program and category in which it was entered. It does not establish the truth of every interpretation contained in the book.

One recognition, two surviving publisher records

The same 2014 result is also preserved by Independent Publisher, which published the Living Now results separately. That is useful corroboration, but it is not a second award.

For that reason, both the Living Now Book Awards logo and the Independent Publisher logo on LorriBrewer.com resolve to this single canonical recognition record. Keeping one page for one underlying recognition avoids duplicating the same evidence merely because two related publishing properties preserve it.

Where the award sits in the book’s history

Heaven Time was first published in 2012. The book records Lorri Brewer’s September 2010 medical crisis, the near-death experience she remembers, and the difficult process of returning to ordinary life afterward.

The 2014 Living Now recognition arrived after that first publication period and provides external evidence that the title was selected for a Silver Medal in the program’s Metaphysical category. It belongs in the history of the book, rather than being used as a substitute for the book’s content or for Lorri’s own account.

Why this page exists

Awards are easy to flatten into a badge or a line of promotional copy. A first-party recognition page makes the evidence inspectable. It records the exact program, outcome, category and announcement date, while preserving direct links to the organizations that published the result.

Readers evaluating Lorri’s books can therefore verify the recognition without leaving the broader context of the Books collection, and the original award record remains the source of authority for the result.
