Books by Jan

Its a place we all want to experience, and popular storyteller Jan Carlberg (author of The Hungry Heart and daughter of best-selling author Margaret Jensen) takes readers of all ages on a wonder-filled journey to a place called home.

Whether its a nostalgic trip back to the gentler days of childhood or a warm introduction to the family youve longed for, each story offers inspiration, showing how to heal from the wounds of yesterday and create homes where love lives today. The forty-one tales (all true) are captivating and encouraging, sometimes poignant, and always brightened by a sense of humor.

The Welcome Song is a gift that will touch every reader, because each will see her- or himself in the people who grace these pages . . . imperfections, sure, but mostly pure, wonderful, lovely potential!

A book "a keepsake"that makes readers feel this good will be shared by the handfuls, finding its way into the hearts of friends and families everywhere.

If your heart hungers to know God in a more intimate way, this daily devotional book can help satisfy that desire. Drawn completely from the Old Testament, these 366 devotional thoughts emphasize God's words of love and encouragement, command, and instruction.

The Hungry Heart focuses on some of the scripture passages that may be less familiar but yet exhibit the character of the one true God. Learn on a daily basis how the words that God spoke to Moses, the Prophets, Joseph, David, and the Hebrews are just as relevant today as they were then. Still powerful and still convicting, let these passages whet your appetite to go deeper with God.

"As I went through the Old Testament, I discovered people with hungry hearts. But I also found that God has a hungry heart for his children. I hadn't seen it quite like that before-how much God longs for His children to spend time with Him, talking and listening. Stories of God moving in the lives of the small and little known people living in obscure small towns stirred me to read on-to meet these people God so loved. Many of them were insignificant individuals in our world's view, but they were people marked by hungry hearts for God."
