  REXBURG, IDAHO -- Recently, Jack Harrell, LDS writer and member of 
the English Department at Ricks College, received the $1,000 Marilyn 
Brown  Award from the Association for Mormon Letters.  The award is 
for his unpublished  novel, "Every Knee Shall Bow," the story of a 
young man who finds his  way back to God after life as a prodigal.
 The Marilyn Brown Award was established  to help further the careers 
of LDS novelists who are struggling to find a market and an audience 
for  their work.
 The Marilyn Brown Novel Award is given out every two years. The next 
award will be in February 2002.
