HEAVEN IS ALL ABOUT HIM
"Heaven is all about Him" my book of prophetic poems from my Christian journal during time alone with God in the mornings. Each poem seems to have the ability to mean different things to different people depending on where they are in their life and what's going on for them.
Have you ever read something and thought it was all about you....that it was a word for you, though not written for you? Where you are, at a specific place in your journey, the things that you are asking, words you are waiting for, and messages that as far as you are concerned are coming to you from the throne room of heaven.
If you like a book that you can dive into whenever you feel you need a warm hug or an answer to a problem or just a feeling of peace, belonging and a touch from Holy Spirit, you will love this collection of prophetic poems.
Every morning, if we wait for Him, ‘be still and know’ He shows up with beautiful words, warm kisses and wonderful encouragement for the day.
I never in a million years though that these little poems would be published.
We all have something that was deposited by God into our spirit and I believe that most of us know what it is and we just have to find the courage to get it out.
When I became a Christian, I was encouraged by my friend and mentor Christine Gear, to journal daily. It was a bit weird I thought, but soon got into it and really loved the connection that it gave me with God and noticed too that my writing began to rhyme. The poems were really lovely and as I got more into the deeper side of being a born again spirit filled Pentecostal Christian, I began to 'feel' that certain poems were for others.
My gorgeous friend Christine got really sick and the poems changed pace and were shared a lot amongst the group of friends who were praying for her.
She passed to Glory after a brave fight with MND and to honour her belief that they were to be shared (and with the constant nagging of the rest of the friends) I published the poems and called it "Heaven is all about Him"
Now when a feel God prompting I pass the poems to others and when someone purchases a book I give them a poem that God shows me is for them. There have been many, many wonderful stories of comfort, strength, revelation, hope and love that have been shared with me from those people as a result.
That's how my little prophetic ministry began. He always knows what to say when words fail us, He knows the answers to our constant questions, He is the breath in the breezes all around you, He is the soft touch on your cheek as you sleep, the warm caress or the deep hug as you go about your day and the whispered endearment in stressful times.
These are shared messages from Heaven where it's all about Him.
I hope you get pleasure from the messages as you delve into the book, either all at once or as a daily devotional.

The Good Samaritan popped up amongst the poems as I was writing in my journal. I passed it on to friends with young children and they loved it. The church was looking for a lesson to teach one Sunday when the teacher was away - so I read it to the children. That started me on this next little journey of author/illustrator.
After much prodding and poking from friends, and 40 years since I had done any kind of art, I illustrated the book and got it into print.
I have had lovely feedback and now it's in Sunday schools, bookshops, primary schools, libraries and homes.
The Prodigal Son followed a year later and it talks about the love of a father and how not to feel jealousy and judgement when things look bad. The love and forgiveness felt towards his wayward son is the same love our God in heaven shows to us, his kids!.
This was self- illustrated too.
I have re-published both with coloring, puzzles, wordsearches mazes and other avtivities

What the readers think of Heaven!
Oh Jan, the poems you have written have altered my heart as I have been drawn closer to Father God. The words of wisdom have made me laugh, filled me with joy and even made me shed a few tears. Thank you
Jean Hoare
Jan has a true gift for writing poems that will encourage you no matter what the circumstance. Her faith and humour are contagious – may God richly bless all who read these precious poems.
Debra Schultz
I am so blessed every time I read one of Jan's poems. They provide food for my heart & sustain my soul. Her poems lift me up when I am struggling & make me laugh just when I need it most. You will love them too.
Maureen O’Dwyer
Jan’s poems have a way to touch your heart and bring peace in times of need, they have the ability to help you make sense of situations that otherwise could be confusing or confronting.
I find them uplifting and a joy to read.
Suellen Morrell
I absolutely love Jan’s poems, they are witty, real, and convey the meaning of her prose with grace and honour......colourful, meaningful and beautiful
Neale Gear
Every time I read one of Jan's poems, my heart is touched... sometimes it's an ‘Ah ha’ moment, sometimes a giggle, sometimes a tear is shed – but always a touch of the Holy Spirit.
Carol Sullivan
Jan’s poetry always seems to hit the mark. You may be in a different place from the last person who read them – but they seem to reach deep down with a personal message from God for each individual reader. She is always surprised at the effect they have on others.
Philip Morris
I want to express my gratitude for these beautiful words that Jan shared with me during the days that followed the sudden death of my 28-year-old son Matty. The love and kindness and the message from heaven was a blessing and it touched my heart. Thank you

FEEDBACK - The Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son
I love the way the traveller is seen as a dad and husband and how we see him going back to his family. It really brings home the fact that by not helping others there could be very sad consequences.
Patricia L
These books are Beautifully Illustrated and easy for children to understand the messages.
Patricia G
I like this book because it builds up faith in sons and daughters
Paula A
My little girl loved the story and read it to her little brother.
She was happy that the 'bashed man' got home to his wife and children
C Reynolds
The Good Samaritan is delightful and with beautiful rhymes and illustrations
I loved:
* the illustrations and rhymes
* the promise of more with the word 'series'.
* the use of the vernacular - bashed, smacked, etc.
* the introduction of the man's wife and children.
* the inclusion of the scripture at the end (Might be the first time someone reads the Bible!)
Well done Jan!
Ps Elizabeth Seeto
We loved the rhyming style of this wonderful little story book. Children identify with fun prose and my 2 loved the story so much we had to read it again and again....I am excited to see the colouring and puzzles companion. We will definitely be adding that to our home library and what a bargain at very affordable price.
