Jamie Denty’s Angel in Tennis Shoes: Devotionals for Christmas, was chosen best collection of columns or short stories in the National Federation of Press Women’s 2022 contest. Entrants had placed first either in their state or in the at-large contests earlier in the year.
The judges said, “Outstanding entry. What a wonderful book. Well written, easy to understand and uplifting and all in short story form. Talented writer who has a way with words. Great job.”
The 60 real life selections in Angel in Tennis Shoes, grouped into four facets of Christmas - Nativity, Gifts, Advent and Epiphany - invite the reader to listen closely to these children and the young at heart. They have a message from God to deliver. Hopefully, these selections inspire all of us to listen, really listen, to our own children. The true message, the true spirit, of Christmas, as children discover, is one to practice and share, day in, day out, every day.
Denty’s granddaughter, Erica Boyd, a designer for a leading lifestyle brand, was the cover artist. Jamie has written a weekly column for The Press-Sentinel, Jesup, Georgia, for 51 years.
Books may be purchased through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
