2001 - CHRISTIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR

Winner

BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DESIGN
The architecture of John Cyril Hawes 1876-1956
by John J Taylor
Published by University of Western Australia Press

Extract from the judges comments~
"BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DESIGN might seem to be an unusual choice as Australian Christian
Book of the Year, but this book has standards of excellence which separates it from the other
books submitted, both in the quality of its production and in its literary merit. It also makes a
unique contribution not just on the Australian literary stage but internationally, in the intersection
of architecture and Christian faith: a contribution on at least three levels; to Christian art, to
Australian history, and to Australian Christian biography".
