Hello,
I just finished your book Tender Grace last night.  I learned so many things from it especially about the journey of mourning.  Although I was in no position to take an actual trip as the woman did in your book I was able to feel similarities.  My parents passed away two years and two days apart from one another.  This was several years ago, yet I still find myself talking about them in the present tense now and then, and wanting to talk to them and dreaming aboout them quite a lot.  I have tried to tell other people about it, including my siblings but they look at me like I am crazy.  I just ordered your other book and I am really looking forward to reading it.  I also ordered the CD by Selah and Thirteen Moons as well as Cold Mountain and Acts of Faith.  Last but not least I looked up how to make an Italian Cream Cake.  I had never heard of such a thing but my husband agrees it looks really yummy.  Jackina, I wish you well and hope you write many more books.  I see here that you also lost your Mom.  May she visit you in your dreams as often as mine does.  The real nice thing about it is she and I are always doing funny things in my dreams, and so instead of crying I laugh a lot.  May you find laughter in your dreams as well.  Thank you so much for your books, and I do hope that you write even more.  Kristy

Just finished reading Tender Grace.  What an amazing book.  I can’t wait to read your other books.  Please keep writing!

Jackina…so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Wanda & Cliff

Just got done reading Tender Grace.  I loved it.  I am a 49 year single never been married women and i must say that your book was a breathe of fresh air.  God is my rock, best friend, provider, my all and i am so tired of most books being about a love story about a man and woman, when there is so much that can be written about the God/human love story.  Your John insights hit home for me many times.  Thank you

Hi Jackina,
Just came across some of your books I purchased after hearing you speak at a womens’ retreat on Deer Island, back in 1993. After googling your name I was pretty excited to find this website and plan to spend some time here! You actually made a huge impact on me, with your
speaking and books and I thank you for sharing so much of yourself
