Celebrated Author and Speaker Reflects on a Decade of Impact with Christ-Centered Books that Continue to Defy the Odds
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, May 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Christian author and speaker Katie Hornor has been named the recipient of four prestigious 2025 American Legacy Book Awards, honoring two of her most personal and purpose-driven works — In Spite of Myself and Melk the Christmas Monkey.
Hornor’s devotional In Spite of Myself: How Intentional Praise Can Transform Your Heart and Home, once told by a Christian literary agent that it would never sell, was awarded Winner in the Religion, Christianity category and named a Finalist in Religion, Christian Inspirational.
In addition, Melk the Christmas Monkey — a now decade-old Advent tradition in many Christian homes — received two Finalist awards in Children’s Novelty & Gift Book and Children’s Religious.
In Spite of Myself is a heartfelt devotional that challenges readers to embrace praise as a spiritual discipline, transforming their perspective even in life’s hardest seasons. Blending biblical wisdom and personal testimony, Hornor equips readers to shift from heaviness to hope.
Melk the Christmas Monkey is a 30-day activity-based children’s devotional designed as a Christian alternative to Elf on the Shelf. Through daily lessons, Scripture, and hands-on fun, Melk teaches kids about God’s character during the Advent season, making it a cherished tradition for Christian families around the world.
