Carol Stream, Ill. (August 5, 2024) — Tyndale House Publishers (@tyndalehouse) is delighted to announce the forthcoming release of Paws in His Presence: 50 Inspirational Animal Stories to Help You Pray and Ponder the Psalms by acclaimed author Jennifer Marshall Bleakley. Known for her animal-centered stories including Pawverbs for a Dog Lover’s Heart, which has sold over 100,000 copies since its release in 2020, Bleakley once again invites readers to discover spiritual truths through our animal friends.
In this new release, readers will see animals as living, breathing pictures of God’s love. Complete with stories, passages from Psalms, full-color photos, prayers, and reflection questions, Paws in His Presence is a great book for any animal lover.
Carol Traver, the director of content development at Tyndale House Publishers, stated, “We couldn’t be more excited about the release of Paws in His Presence. Regardless of where people stand spiritually, nearly everyone loves animals, and Jen Bleakley has such an incredible gift for showing how these friends and companions so perfectly reflect God’s grace, humor, and unconditional love. That’s the beauty of this book. The devotions are rooted in the Psalms, and because Jen’s stories are so delightfully disarming, you could literally gift Paws in His Presence to just about anybody.”
Paws in His Presence will be available October 1, 2024. For more information or for media inquiries, please contact Natalie Wierenga, nataliewierenga@tyndale.com.
Jennifer Marshall Bleakley is also the author of Joey, the Pawverbs devotional series, Project Solomon, and Finding Grace. Jen has a master’s degree in counseling and worked as a grief counselor for several years before staying home with her children. Somewhere in between countless loads of laundry, library story time, petting zoos, and the blessed hours of nap time, Jen discovered a way to combine her lifelong love of animals and her longing to encourage others with her passion for writing. Jen often says that animals have much to teach us about ourselves, about each other, and about God, but in order to learn from them we must paws and pay attention. (She also really loves a good pun!) Jen lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband, Darrell, their two children, Andrew and Ella, and a menagerie of pets, including a rescue cat, a sloth-like bearded dragon, and a very needy golden retriever. You can connect with Jen online at jenniferbleakley.com or on social media @jenbleakley.
