Verna Linzey Best Non-Fiction of the Year Award from Christian Writers’ Guild
2006 Awards Event
This year we had the most interesting crop of books I think I’ve ever seen submitted, ranging from subjects like pain and penguins, God, death, historical fiction, starting out as a writer, and parenting. One book talks about how God plants the seeds of greatness in our lives, another is an in-depth, well researched teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, while another is a heart-wrenching story of abuse. One psychological mystery reminded me of watching The Sixth Sense while another about death notices felt a little like the Twilight Zone. Some were funny, even irreverent, some very encouraging, and some serious and hard to read for the difficult content.

After two months of intense reading, I honestly cannot remember a more spirited, discussion-filled board meeting. So often the choices have been clear-cut and need little discussion. This year, every book made us think and hash over the merits and flaws. We all had our personal favorites. In the end, we chose the books and articles and poems that we agreed are best written and handle their subjects most successfully, but every piece submitted gave us a lot to think about.

Verna Linzey Films New Television programs on The Holy Spirit
Submitted by David on Fri, 08/10/2012 – 14:22
ESCONDIDO – CALIFORNIA
August 8, 2012
A not-so-frail ninety-three year lady proves a match for the grueling schedule demanded from Act One Picture’s latest production: The Holy Spirit Today, an upcoming series of broadcasting featuring the ministry of Verna Lizney, winner of the 2005 Best Non-Fiction of the Year Award by the San Diego Christian Writer’s Guild for her book The Baptism with the Holy Spirit, and winner of the “Evangelist of the Year” in 2010 by the Military Bible Association.
Surrounded by three cameras, a intricate lighting set-up and numerous machinery under the direction of Robert Borer, the inner sanctum of Verna Lizney’s gentle home became invaded by a full crew, ensuring a lively chaos that quickly became quelled when the words of love, wisdom and spirituality flowed out of the enthusiastic evangelist. The crew fought the intensity of 90+ degreeweather and skipped breaks or mealtimes under the inspiration of the lady who spoke with thundering authority.
Act One intern David Villa was amazed by how Verna Lizney elevated the work ethic the crew, after which it became apparent that what was scheduled to be a half day of filming turned into a full day with overtime.
“She’s been going on for hours with only sips of water to help her voice. If she doesn’t get tired then neither are we!” said Villa.
Act One will continue to produce alongside Verna Linzey Ministries a total of thirty episodes of programming, which will air on the Christian Network.
