Dallas/Ft

Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX—This week Tina Jacobson of The Barnabas Agency secured Jossey-Bass, a division of John Wiley & Sons, as the publisher for Rena Pederson and her latest title, Junia: The Search for the Missing Apostle.  This captivating new book explores history and the Scripture to uncover the facts about a largely unknown apostle mentioned in Romans—a woman named Junia. 

 

“I’m thrilled to have been able to unite Rena Pederson, an author with such an intriguing story to tell, with a solid, reputable publishing house like Jossey-Bass.  I’m confident that the two will form a wonderful working relationship in the next few months and will achieve many successes in the future!” says Tina Jacobson, president and literary agent of The Barnabas Agency and The B & B Media Group.

 

Rena Pederson is an award-winning newspaper journalist and a nationally recognized author and speaker.  She has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and was profiled by PBS for the She Says documentary about the top women in the news business.  She recently has been interviewed regarding current events on The O’Reilly Factor and PBS’ Frontline series and has done numerous radio and television interviews for her books.

 

“We’re delighted to have the opportunity to publish this ground-breaking work by such a notable author—we expect great things from Rena Pederson and this book on Junia, the lost apostle,” says Sheryl Fullerton, Executive Editor of Jossey-Bass. 

 

For over thirty-five years Jossey-Bass has provided thoughtful professionals, executives, and the public with useful, leading-edge resources, books and periodicals based on research and proven practice.  This division of John Wiley & Sons, one of the nation’s leading publishing houses since 1807, publishes nearly 250 titles each year on a wide range of topics.
