Thank you so much, Paul and Cynthia!
And thank you, Evan, for posting this announcement.
I’ve just had a read. Great stuff, Monika. Well done.
Thank you, Paul!
Great news and a wonderful poem: it soars like its subject matter – Elijah, truly late in the day compared with the patriarchs, judges and even great kings of Israel, yet has truly some of the most breathtaking stories of all the Old Testament. Love this. Well done, worthy, very worthy indeed.
Thank you very much, James!
Very fine work, Monika. A well-deserved prize.
Thank you, Joe!
Nice. I can promote this win on my podcast episode this week.
Sweet. Thank you! (I love the podcast.)
“With zeal have I been zealous” is straight from Biblical Hebrew style. Congratulations, Monika!
Yes, indeed. Elijah’s trademark.
Thank you, Margaret!
