The Sabine Parish Library in Zwolle will host a book signing on Friday, Oct. 3 featuring local author Verena Ferrant Harp and her debut release, Biography of Paul Cornelius Ferrant: World War II Veteran in the Army of Peace. The event will take place from 2-3:30 p.m. at the library, located at 755 Hammond Street.

Harp’s book tells the story of her father, Paul Cornelius Ferrant, who served as a pastor in Sabine Parish for more than 40 years. Before entering the ministry, Ferrant was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II, where he flew as an aerial gunner on 57 combat missions.

The biography traces his journey from his early life as a strawberry farmer in Ponchatoula to his wartime service and eventual calling as a Christian pastor, highlighting how he transitioned from the battlefields of war to what Harp describes as “God’s Army of Peace.”

Community members are invited to meet the author, hear more about Ferrant’s legacy, and have copies of the book signed during the event.
