Founded in 2020
They only burn the ones that set the world on fire.
Our story
Paper Thoughts Publishing was founded in 2020 by James and Trisha Fenimore with one unapologetic mission: to publish dangerous books that change hearts, minds, and the world. We believe it only takes 26 letters to change the world.
Our breakout title, Pray For Them: The True Story of a Racist White Christian Called to Black Seminary by Trisha Fenimore, became an international phenomenon—selling in over 20 countries and earning multiple literary awards for its fearless honesty and redemptive message of transformation, forgiveness, and radical love.
Building on that momentum, we continue to release titles that challenge readers to live bolder, love deeper, and pursue spiritual growth without compromise. James Fenimore's The Playbook, Volume 1: A 90-Day Game Plan to Elevate Your Faith offers a bold, honest, and deeply relatable roadmap for believers ready to strengthen their walk with God. Drawing from his experience as a world-renowned Christian coach & counselor serving clients across more than a dozen countries, this 90-day devotional provides daily reflections, practical steps, and powerful tools to rebuild identity, discover purpose, and elevate everyday faith into something transformative.
Paired with this is The M544 Devotional & Journal, a powerful tandem set designed for the hugely popular MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE. Inspired by Jesus' command to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44), this 30-day journey—complete with Scripture, soul-stirring reflections, practical guidance, and journaling space—has mobilized thousands worldwide to overcome resentment, practice radical forgiveness, and experience profound healing through intentional prayer.
At Paper Thoughts, we don’t chase trends—we spark revolutions. Every story we publish dares to dig deeper, speak louder, and shine light into the darkness, inviting readers into real encounters with truth, grace, and the only Power which can transform lives. Whether through raw memoir, structured spiritual coaching, or community-driven challenges, our books are spiritual tools for a spiritually-starved world.
