“His Ways” by Tressa Olden to Be Presented at the 2025 ALA Annual Conference in Philadelphia

His Ways, the captivating new novel by Tressa Olden, will be proudly presented by Maple Leaf Publishing Canada at the 2025 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference & Exhibition, held at the Philadelphia Convention Center from June 27–30, 2025. Though the author will not be in attendance, her powerful literary voice will resonate through the pages of this deeply human and spiritually anchored novel. A compelling choice for libraries, distributors, and acquisition teams, His Ways is a moving exploration of modern manhood, Christian faith, and the relational ties that test and define us.

A Story of Choices, Consequences, and Divine Direction

His Ways centers on William Parker, a bright, faith-driven young attorney who finds himself navigating a tumultuous period in his life. Between a new wife, a baby on the way, and the demanding leadership of his law firm, William is faced with emotional and spiritual upheaval. Complicating his journey are strained relationships—with colleagues, friends, family, and an ex-girlfriend working in his office—each encounter laced with temptation, betrayal, and questions of loyalty.

As William begins to doubt his spiritual calling, the novel artfully examines how life’s trials often disguise God’s greater plan. It’s a story filled with raw emotions, unexpected turns, and redemptive hope, culminating in moments of sadness, joy, and ultimately, reconciliation.

This thought-provoking narrative touches on themes of identity, marital strain, professional ethics, and faith under fire, making His Ways an essential addition to contemporary Christian fiction collections and book club discussions.

Meet the Author: Tressa Olden – A Journey from Passion to Purpose

Author Tressa Olden grew up immersed in stories and books, falling in love with literature during her early school years. From volunteering to help younger students learn to read, to working in her high school library with dreams of one day becoming a published author, Olden’s literary journey has been both personal and purposeful.

Although life led her through years of family, work, and caregiving, it was an unexpected health challenge in 1999 that reignited her passion for writing. Through poetry and prose, she found healing and clarity, eventually penning multiple works that reflect her deep faith, compassion, and human insight. His Ways is her latest work and her most spiritually resonant novel yet—crafted with the heart of a storyteller and the soul of a believer.
