Janet Holm McHenry, Author

Janet Holm McHenry, daughter of cousin Doris Fieg Holm, is a noted author. Below is a bit of information from her personal web site. She is published by Random House in New York.

"Whether she's speaking on prayer, spiritual health or girlfriends, Janet Holm McHenry will fill you with help from God's Word, hope from her own stories, and humor from her heart.

"Janet is the author of nineteen books, including Girlfriend Gatherings: Creative Ways to Stay Connected and several on prayer:
PrayerWalk: Becoming a Woman of Prayer, Strength, and Discipline
Daily PrayerWalk: Meditations for a Deeper Prayer Life
Prayer Changes Teens: How to Parent from Your Knees

"She also has written hundreds of articles for newspapers and magazines, including Today's Christian Woman, Interpreter, Discipleship Journal, Decision, Woman's Touch, and Guideposts. Additionally, stories about her transformation through prayerwalking and her passion for her community have been aired on radio and television stations around the country and appeared in magazines such as Health, Family Circle, First and Catholic Digest.

"After Janet graduated from University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in journalism, she married her high school sweetheart Craig and worked as a newspaper reporter and editor. They eventually settled down in the Sierra Valley north of Truckee, where Craig is a rancher. Now a mom to four kids and a high school English, creative writing, and journalism teacher--Janet says the only pastime she has time for is friends!"
