“MASKquerade” Wins Christian Choice Book Award

"MASKquerade," an autobiography detailing the harrowing childhood and ultimate triumph of Danny Wallace, has been named a winner in the Christian Choice Book Awards by Xulon Press.

"I'm honored to receive this recognition and dedicate it to the countless, silent victims of childhood sexual abuse who need our love and prayers," said Danny Wallace. "My painful experiences have opened so many doors to help others in a manner that reminds us God often works in unexpected, incredible ways."

Wallace speaks at churches and events nationally and around the world, allowing him to reach thousands of people, many of whom shed years of torment to realize true hope and freedom through forgiveness.

Wallace's latest book, "Man's Cage Under God's Tree," is a journey for the reader into the land of true freedom. In John 8:36 Jesus said, "If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed!" The book simply asks, "What does absolute freedom look like?"

The title is derived from a quote by Jacques Deval that paraphrased says, "God loved the birds, so He invented trees. Man loved the birds, so he invented cages." The freedom that Jesus spoke of came as an absolute gift from the heart of God - a heart that says, "I'm not here for me, I am here for you." This selfless heart of absolute freedom symbolizes God's Tree.

"MASKquerade" is widely available online, including through the Danny Wallace Ministries' site (http://www.dannywallace.org), and "Man's Cage Under God's Tree" will be similarly available in early summer 2013. Wallace would like to congratulate all fellow award winners, including the two other authors in the autobiography/biography category.

Danny Wallace is an author, international speaker and the CEO of Danny Wallace Ministries, Inc., a worldwide ministry based in Atlanta. Because of Danny's incredible testimony of surviving childhood physical and sexual abuse and his healing from AIDS, many consider Danny to be a leading authority in the Church today regarding freedom from any stronghold through transparency and embracing the "Father's Heart" in every aspect of our lives.Visit http://www.dannywallace.org for more information.
