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.

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 was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and currently resides in the charming city of Fairhope on Mobile Bay. Stemming from his faith and avocation, he self-identifies as a Christ-driven influencer, thought leader, and advocate for a 'Reverence for Life,' the ethos given to the world by Dr. Albert Schweitzer. This ethos at its core mandates that all humanity bestow the love of Jesus liberally and universally on all creatures who cross our path. Since his retirement from Monsanto as Director of Business Conduct in late 2008, Echols has been engaged in a variety of volunteer activities. Prior to his tenure at Monsanto, Echols served as attorney and ethics officer for a variety of Defense Department contractors and served in philanthropic and consulting positions. He also served as an active-duty U.S. Army Attorney at West Point. Echols grew up in Exeter, New Hampshire and was educated at the Phillips Exeter Academy. He received his B.A. from New York University and his J.D./M.B.A. from Emory University. Mr. Echols was also privileged to serve in the U.S. Army as an enlisted man from 1973 to 1976.
