Dr. Juan P. Chisholm named Kingdom Book Awards finalist

Dr. Juan P. Chisholm, author of Mission Possible: How to Graduate from College Debt-Free, was named a 2026 finalist in the Kingdom Book Awards educational category. The honor adds to the Florida Book Awards bronze medal he earned in 2022 and keeps attention on his debt-free college message ahead of the Nov. 17 gala in Orlando.

Why it matters: - The finalist nod extends recognition for Mission Possible: How to Graduate from College Debt-Free beyond state-level honors. - The book’s debt-free college message is reaching students, families and others looking for lower-cost paths to higher education. - The Kingdom Book Awards can increase visibility for Christian authors and help connect them with speakers, leaders, entrepreneurs, media and filmmakers.

What happened: - Dr. Juan P. Chisholm was named one of the 2026 finalists for the Kingdom Book Awards in the educational category. - The recognition follows his 2022 Florida Book Awards bronze medal for Mission Possible: How to Graduate from College Debt-Free. - The Kingdom Book Awards Gala is set for Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. - Winners among the finalists will be announced live at the gala.

The details: - Mission Possible: How to Graduate from College Debt-Free focuses on helping college students, high school students planning for college, parents, guardians, families and communities pursue debt-free college education. - Chisholm also referenced an upcoming documentary tied to the book, The Mission Possible Book Award. - Copies of the book are available through most major booksellers, the publisher’s website at Greenlight Books & Publishing and the Graduate Debt-Free Club Online. - More information on the gala and tickets is available at Kingdom Book Awards Gala. - Chisholm said he was “thankful and humbled” by the finalist recognition and said he is inspired to keep sharing his message.

Between the lines: - The award brings together two themes that have defined Chisholm’s profile: debt-free education advocacy and faith-based publishing. - The recognition also reinforces the broader appeal of a book that has already won outside the religious publishing space. - Chisholm’s public bio is part of the pitch here too: Jacksonville native, business owner, teacher, investor, speaker and filmmaker with degrees from Florida State University and Florida A&M University College of Law.

What's next: - The Kingdom Book Awards will name winners at the November gala in Orlando. - Chisholm is likely to continue promoting both the book and the documentary as the awards season progresses. - The gala and related publicity could broaden the reach of the book’s message to new audiences.
