About The Author


Join me to become a steward of the earth, of animals, all life, all God's creation. My writings provide the spiritual inspiration and practical tools for a blessed calling--making the love of Jesus universal! A cancer survivor, Robert Echols is a recognized and renowned influencer on the ethos of a reverence for life, the love of Jesus made universal, blogging frequently on LinkedIn, speaking on podcasts and in person in the Mobile Bay, Alabama area, and authoring a 4-volume treatise on the topic under the title: For Our Friends the Animals. Previously Echols served as Founder and President of the For Our Friends the Animals Foundation, a nonprofit entity created to provide financial and managerial support to animal rescues, shelters and sanctuaries. The Foundation also erected animal shelters in Levy County, Florida permitting Echols to, as Albert Schweitzer envisaged human existence, make his life his argument. Echols grew up in Exeter, N.H., 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. Echols also served in the U.S Army as an active duty enlisted man, as an officer as a member of the JAG Corps, and DA Civilian Attorney.
