JA Maren is a faith-driven writer, high school teacher, and proud mama who believes stories don’t just entertain—they shape souls. Whether she’s teaching teenagers math or reading bedtime stories to her daughter, she sees every moment as an opportunity to point people toward truth, purpose, and the heart of God.
Her writing spans genres, all rooted in a single mission: to awaken hearts to the beauty and boldness of real faith. She is the author of The Paradox of Faith: American Christianity vs. True Biblical Christianity, a raw, personal reflection on what it truly means to follow Jesus in a culture that often confuses comfort with conviction. Through this book, she challenges readers to trade shallow religion for deep discipleship.
For younger audiences, JA brings the same heart into her Temperance Tilly Jungle Series—playful, colorful adventures that help children explore godly character traits like self-control, courage, and kindness. Each story is infused with biblical wisdom and wrapped in humor and imagination.
She’s also the creative mind behind The Veiled Truth Chronicles, a Christian mystery/suspense series that weaves ancient secrets, hidden history, and spiritual warfare into compelling fiction. With each book, she invites readers to dig deeper, question what they’ve accepted as truth, and stand firm in a world of deception.
Off the page, JA Maren is a small-town Southern girl who wears many hats—educator, encourager, mama, truth-seeker, and occasional chaos coordinator. She finds joy in good coffee, deep conversations, and the wild grace of everyday life. Her daughter is her greatest inspiration, keeping her grounded, honest, and always reaching higher.
Whether writing for children or adults, JA Maren writes with one goal: to plant seeds of truth that will take root, grow strong, and bear fruit for eternity.
