Hope and Life Press are proud to present Jay Toups, yet another of our latest authors, with the book The Storm: A Time of Mercy, Choices and Hope. Situated in the Deep South of the United States of America (US), but in no way limited solely to that region, this Catholic nonfiction book will be released in paperback and ebook editions in mid 2016.
Jay Toups is a husband, father of six, and a grandfather formed by the rich, Christian, cultural experience of the Deep South of the US. As a Catholic, he has been active in evangelization with the parish of his church, and served on various parish and school boards. Toups works to answer God's call for his life through his vocation as a husband and father, while weaving his faith into the deeds of his consulting business.
Educated in Catholic schools and a small, public college in Louisiana, Toups spends much of his time with his large family, motivational public speaking and helping his clients grow, while building up the communities they serve. He has also developed a belief in the economic theory of distributism. Toups finds joy and hope in being called to serve Christ in the simplest ways and has a great love for Him and the Blessed Mother, Lectio Divina, adoration, and praying the rosary. He also enjoys reading the wisdom found in the writings of the great saints of the universal Church. Toups believes that the future of humankind, no matter what it holds and despite the present storm, has the great gift of hope in the salvation brought to us by Jesus Christ.
