Book Recognition
2015 USA Best Book Awards
Heaven Time · 2015 USA Best Book Awards Finalist
The 2015 USA Best Book Awards named Lorri Brewer's Heaven Time a Finalist in New Age: Non-Fiction, alongside the category winner and other finalist titles.
What Was Recognized
The record behind the recognition.
The official 2015 USA Best Book Awards results, now hosted by American Book Fest, list Heaven Time by Lorri Brewer, Aquarius Publishing, as a Finalist in New Age: Non-Fiction. Contemporary award announcements date the winners and finalists to November 16, 2015.
The official 2015 USA Best Book Awards results list Heaven Time: Discovering a New Way of Life After a Near-Death Experience by Lorri Brewer as a Finalist in the New Age: Non-Fiction category. The record names Aquarius Publishing and identifies the book by ISBN alongside the category winner and other finalists.
The result
The distinction on the official results page is specific. Heaven Time did not win the New Age: Non-Fiction category. It was one of the titles named as a Finalist.
Preserving that wording matters because book recognition becomes less credible when finalist placements are casually rewritten as wins. The recorded outcome is Finalist, New Age: Non-Fiction.
The date
The surviving American Book Fest results document establishes the category and placement. Contemporary announcements from other recognized titles in the same program state that the 2015 winners and finalists were announced on November 16, 2015.
This page therefore uses November 16, 2015 as the recognition date while keeping the official American Book Fest results as the primary evidence for Heaven Time itself.
A second recognition
The placement followed the book’s 2014 Living Now Book Awards Silver Medal in the Metaphysical category. These are two separate programs and two different outcomes, so they warrant separate recognition records.
Together they provide independently checkable evidence about how Heaven Time was received within two book-award programs after its 2012 publication. Neither recognition is used here to make claims about sales volume, bestseller status or scientific validation.
Verification
The American Book Fest results identify Heaven Time as a Finalist in New Age: Non-Fiction. Contemporary announcements support November 16, 2015 as the announcement date.
The recognition can be checked against the original award material linked above. The evidence supports the exact Finalist placement and category name. It does not establish a win, a rank among the finalists, bestseller status or broader market standing.
