Australian Christian Book of the Year 2025: Competition Winners

You are currently viewing Australian Christian Book of the Year 2025: Competition Winners

Last Thursday saw the announcement of this year’s Australian Christian Book of the Year Award. Many congratulations to Stephen Driscoll for his outstanding book, “Made in our Image: God, artificial intelligence and you”. You can see the full awards night here:

But Stephen isn’t the only winner! Thank you to all those who entered the davidould.net competition. Sparklit have generously arranged for us to give away a copy of every single nominated book! Competition entries were incredibly skewed with the clear favourite being Rob Smith’s “The Body God Gives”. A couple of books got no entries. All entrants were added to a general pool to draw for a copy of those so a few winners got a different book than their first choice.

Here’s the full list of winners:

BookWinner
Made in Our Image (Stephen Driscoll)Peter Jeffery
Modern Genre Theory (Andrew Judd)Jacob Kelly
Preaching in a New Key (Mark R. Glanville)Mark Nugent
Priests of History (Sarah Irving-Stonebraker)Andrew Paterson
