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 recorded outcome is Finalist
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. LorriBrewer.com uses the same outcome recorded by the award program: Finalist, New Age: Non-Fiction.
The announcement 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 external recognition for Heaven Time
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.
Why the recognition belongs under Books
The award concerns the book rather than a media appearance by Lorri. It therefore lives under the Books information architecture and links back to the canonical Books page.
This separation keeps the site’s authority signals legible. Interviews and editorial appearances remain in the Media archive. Awards, finalist placements and other evidence concerning a specific title can accumulate under Books without forcing fundamentally different proof into the same content type.
