    The Rev. Cathy Cummings Chisholm, chair of the General Assembly Council 
has been honored with two awards for her book, "Landscapes of the Heart." 
The book has been named a 1999 "IPPY" (Independent Publisher's Book Award) 
finalist in the category of Inspirational/Spiritual.  "Landscapes of the 
Heart" also won Chisholm the 1999 Jim Angell Award from the Presbyterian 
Writers Guild for the best first book. 
    The 1999 Independent Publisher's Book Award attracted nearly 1,300 
applicants from 645 independent publishers in North America. Results of the 
"IPPY" awards will be announced later this month.  Chisholm will receive 
her Jim Angell Award at the June 24 annual luncheon of the Presbyterian 
Writers Guild at the General Assembly in Fort Worth, Texas. 
    In poetry, prayer and photography, "Landscapes of the Heart" reflects 
Chisholm's journey through different places and circumstances over an 
eight-year period.  This interplay of photography, poetry, and prayer 
invites the reader to "see with new eyes" and to discover God's presence in 
everyday images in the world around us. 
    "Landscapes of the Heart" can be ordered through local booksellers or 
directly from Bridge Resources. To order call toll-free 1-800-524-2612 
(Item #095807). Cost is $13.95.
