Fieg Cousin Wins Book Award

Janet Holm McHenry, daughter of Bob and Doris Fieg Holm, granddaughter of Max Fieg, and prolific author of Christian books, recently attended a publishing event in Nashville, signing her most recent book and enjoying the opportunity to network with other Christian writers and communicators.

At the event, Janet also received a publishing award.  Her book, The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus, was given a Golden Scroll Award (runner-up) for the Best Christian Living Book at the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association banquet, held in conjunction with the Christian Product Expo.  

(On her Facebook page, Janet noted that she also spent time at the expo doing what she terms "prayer walks" throughout the convention hall, asking blessings for the participants.)

Published by Bethany House Publishers, a traditional publisher with Baker Books, the work is Janet's twenty-third book in her thirty-year-plus career of writing.  Two of her books have been bestsellers:  PrayerWalk (WaterBrook/Random House) and 50 Life Lessons for Grads (Worthy/Hachette).

Her newest book was just released.  Stronger Every Day is a Bible study on the topic of strength, published by First Place for Health, a Christian health organization of 500,000 worldwide.

Janet is a journalism graduate of the University of California - Berkeley who has worked with words her whole adult life - as a technical writer/editor, newspaper reporter and city editor, freelance editor, and high school English teacher.

Janet is married to Craig McHenry, a cattle rancher in the Sierra Valley in northern California, about 40 miles northwest of Reno. They have four adult children, who Janet says "are all done with college, all married, and yay, all gainfully employed."

She loves to speak encouragement at women's retreats, conferences, and other events, and can be contacted through her website, www.janetmchenry.com, or via email at janetmchenry@live.com.
