In a world where the treatment of animals remains a pressing and often overlooked issue, For Our Friends the Animals offers a profound, spiritual solution.

Blending biblical wisdom, heartfelt prayers, and the philosophy of Reverentia Vitae―a reverence for all life inspired by Dr. Albert Schweitzer―this book is a rallying cry for anyone with even a spark of compassion for animals.

The author encourages readers to go beyond passive concern and make a personal pledge to change how they interact with and care for all living creatures. Part one lays the spiritual foundation, exploring our moral responsibility toward animals. Part two shifts into action, presenting practical steps to address critical animal welfare issues in the 21st century.

This is a story that will resonate with your audience, whether they're long-time animal rights advocates or those who are simply open-minded enough to realize we need to protect what's around us.

In an era where empathy is increasingly crucial, For Our Friends the Animals offers an accessible, faith-driven call to reshape our relationship with the natural world.

Author Robert Echols is available for interviews to discuss the philosophy of compassion, the teachings of Dr. Schweitzer, and how For Our Friends the Animals can empower readers to become advocates for change.

The book is more than just a read―it's an invitation to join a movement of compassion that transcends religious and cultural boundaries and sets our children up for a better future.

Robert Echols is a spiritual author, thought leader, and passionate advocate for animals and all of God’s creation. As the author of For Our Friends the Animals: Cultivating a Reverence for Life, Echols blends Christian spirituality, biblical wisdom, and the moral philosophy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer to offer a powerful message: we are called to protect and uplift all living beings.

A cancer survivor and U.S. Army veteran, Robert's life journey has been guided by service—to his country, his faith, and now, to the voiceless creatures that share our planet. He is the founder and former president of the For Our Friends the Animals Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to financially supporting animal shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries. Under his leadership, the foundation funded the construction of animal shelters in Florida, putting faith into action and making his life his argument, as Schweitzer once wrote.

Robert frequently shares his message of compassion on LinkedIn, in podcasts, and as a guest speaker throughout the Mobile Bay, Alabama area. With academic credentials from Phillips Exeter Academy, New York University, and Emory University (J.D./M.B.A.), and a past career as an ethics officer and Army JAG attorney, Robert’s voice is both seasoned and deeply principled.

His current writing project is a four-volume spiritual treatise titled For Our Friends the Animals, empowering others to embrace a universal love rooted in Christ’s teachings and a reverence for all life.

“Let my words inspire you to become a steward of the earth and a champion for animals—because the love of Jesus is not just for humanity, but for all creation.”
