October was a month of awards for InterVarsity Press (IVP), with four books receiving honors from the Midwest Publishing Association (MPA). IVP designer David Fassett also received top honors from the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association (ECPA) for his work on Death Before the Fall.

MPA presented the awards to the four IVP books at its 63rd Midwest Publishing Book and Media Show on Oct. 16. IVP won the top award, the Award of Excellence, in the scholarly/reference category for the three-volume Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity by General Editor Angelo Di Berardino; in the general trade category for Playing God by Andy Crouch; and in the school publishing category for Christianity and Developmental Psychopathologyby Editors Kelly S. Flanagan and Sarah E. Hall. In the special trade category, IVP won Honorable Mention for Coffee With Jesus by David Wilkie.

Through these awards, MPA honors excellence in publishing and showcases the talent the Midwest region has to offer.

“We are honored and grateful to the Midwest Publishing Association for recognizing the hard work that goes on at IVP,” said Anne Gerth, IVP’s director of production and fulfillment. “And congratulations to Cindy Kiple for her beautiful cover designs on all the winners and interior layout on the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity. Congratulations to Beth McGill for the great interior designs on Coffee With Jesus, Playing God and for Christianity and Developmental Psychopathology. And congratulations to Jim Erhart for excellence in the manufacturing process.”

Fassett received a Top Shelf Book Cover Award (topshelfaward.com) during an ECPA PUBu session at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.

“We are thrilled that the ECPA has recognized David Fassett’s excellent cover design work,” Gerth said.
