Testimonials
“Jeff Ferris takes life by the horns in everything he does and writes. Whether it is from his perspective or writing about the life of another person, Jeff captures the reader’s attention. Through his keen sense of humor or sharing a heartfelt story, Jeff cleverly takes you on a 'PATHWAY' where you can relate to the stories he writes. Over the years, as a writer for Pathway Christian Newspaper, his passion for writing is not something he takes lightly. As a Christian man, Jeff strives to give his best to God and his family. Everything Jeff writes aligns with Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

“If you get the opportunity to work with Jeff Ferris, I encourage you to take it. Undergirding his well-seasoned literary prowess is a godly character, fashioned by years of Spirit-led perseverance in loving God, family, and others. I had the joy of meeting Jeff many years ago when he encouraged me regarding my songwriting and recording, and then in more recent years the honor of collaborating with him on a couple of projects. I am enriched by who Jeff is personally and inspired by his commitment and capacity for excellence, professionally. I am confident you will be, too."

“I have always been a writer. But I have been appropriately labeled a ‘hard writer.’ I was all over the board. Jokingly, I told Jeff that my college professors had so much red ink on my written work that it looked like they used a can of red spray paint. The Bible says God is ‘a very present help in trouble.’ My troubled writing needed God’s help, and He sent it. Enter stage left, Jeff Ferris! I met Jeff at a book signing. He didn’t rescue me from a burning building; he rescued my books from me. Jeff did an amazing job, editing volumes 1 & 2 of my books, Endless Miracles Of God. Jeff is seasoned and thorough. His editing goal is to provide a work that is nothing less than a professional work of art.”

“Jeff was invaluable in assisting me through the process of publishing and editing my first book. His attention to the tiniest of details and personal attention he gave to editing my book was incredible. I would recommend Jeff to anyone thinking of publishing any type of literature.”
— Norm Wymer
“When I think of Jeff Ferris, I think of three things: Jesus, Family and Writing.
Jeff walked into my studio and life over 30 years ago to record songs he had written in order to share the love of Jesus. While his repertoire has expanded greatly to writing biographies, short stories and published articles, he carries that same passion to this day. He has a gift for telling not only his own experiences, but also for capturing the experience of others and sharing it in a way that honors the storyteller, while glorifying Jesus and His immense love for us!
Jeff is the real deal, and I would encourage anyone considering working with him to stop thinking and just do it! You’ll have a friend for life, and you and your readers will be blessed if you do!”
