Winchester, NV (March 3, 2026) — Love Made Flesh, the deeply human and soul-stirring book by Rev. Mark David Albertson, has been honored with the 2026 International Impact Book Award — a prestigious global recognition celebrating books that shape culture, inspire transformation, and elevate human understanding.
Now in its 14th year, the International Impact Book Awards (IIBA) celebrate authors whose work has made significant contributions to literature, spirituality, personal growth, and social impact. Each year, thousands of submissions from around the world are evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges — including bestselling authors, university professors, and seasoned publishing professionals — who assess entries for excellence in writing, originality, depth, and potential to influence readers’ lives.
This year’s winners represent the very best in thoughtful storytelling that moves readers — emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. And Love Made Flesh now stands proudly among those ranks.
✨ What the Judges Said
In announcing the award, the IIBA judges praised Love Made Flesh for its “authentic voice, compassionate theological insight, and rare capacity to bridge the personal and the universal.” They noted how the book’s blend of narrative strength and spiritual depth creates a lasting impact on readers seeking meaning, belonging, and hope in an often chaotic world.

From readers wrestling with doubt to those longing for spiritual grounding, Love Made Flesh has resonated across church pews, coffee table conversations, and online communities.
