SOUTHERN BOOK SIGNING TOUR FOR PITTMAN
CWG member Susi Pittman, author of Animals in Heaven? Catholics Want to Know! (iUniverse, 2009), will sign books in Jacksonville, FL, at St. Joseph Catholic Church on October 2, 2011. The book signing begins a five-day author tour of Western North Carolina from October 6-10.
Columbine Communications & Publications will handle the recent foreign rights of Animals in Heaven? Catholics Want to Know! at the upcoming Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, October 12-16, 2011.
Animals in Heaven? addresses the concerns of those who lose their pets to death, wondering what plan God has for animals after their earthly life. Pittman wrote the book “as a way to explore tenets of the Catholic faith that address creation; of bringing insight and spiritual truths to animal lovers and lovers of creation; and as evidential support of the truth that all creation was given its order, time, place, and purpose from its Creator.”
Animals in Heaven? is available in paperback at catholicstewardsofcreation.com, Barnes & Noble and at Amazon, in book and Kindle form.
Pittman is the founder of Catholic Stewards of Creation, a “Catholic layman’s ministry devoted to interesting, information, educational and religious content that calls for active stewardship of God’s creation.” For more information, go to her website, catholicstewardsofcreation.com or at her Facebook page, Catholic Stewards of Creation.
