BenStroup-webAbingdon Press announced the signing of author Ben Stroup to its growing Christian Living division. Stroup’s new book, The Outlaw, the Magician, and the Hero, is slated for a February 2015 release.

“I'm excited about working with Abingdon Press because of the people,” said Stroup. “They have a long-standing commitment to developing authors and books, and expressed the same level of enthusiasm I have for this project and the people I want to reach.”

“I feel like I'm entering a partnership that has the potential to become a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship,” he added.

The Outlaw, the Magician, and the Hero will focus on awakening key behaviors and inclinations within readers so they can fully live the life that God intended for them.

“I'm thrilled to have Abingdon Press partnering with us on this project because of their commitment to publishing thoughtful, challenging books that reach beyond the evangelical world to Christ followers of all kinds—and even to those outside the faith who are seeking answers to questions of spirituality,” said literary agent Kyle L. Olund of KLO Publishing Services.

“Through Ben’s fresh approach, we believe readers will better understand who they are in God’s great story,” said Pamela Clements, Abingdon Press’ associate publisher of Christian living. “We are pleased to be publishing his book as we feel confident that it will touch hearts and change lives for the better.”
