WOMAN BEHIND THE MASK, 
                Trading Your Facade for Authentic Life - Kregel Publicatons
    

"In an age of superficiality and a culture that celebates the shallow, Jan's words ring out as a clarion call to authenticity. there is not a woman alive who has not felt the internal conflict between her Divine DNA and the masks we wear almost unconsciously. If you are exhausted by pretending, this is a Roadmap to Real." 
Anita Renfrow - Comedian, author, Woman of Faith Speaker

"Jan powerfully reminds us that the authentic story of your life is indeed a transformational drama. This book is a gentle reminder that when we remove our masks, let go of our props, and look only for the approval of our Divine Director, we will find ourselves on a journey to joy. Find the keys to balance, rest and spiritual authenticity. It's an excellent resource for small group interaction."
Carol Kent, Speaker, Author, A New Kind of Normal

"It's so easy to hide behind a facade to cover up the turmoil in our hearts. Jan and I have played that game, only to discover that living an authentic life requires we drop the masks and get real, with ourselves, each other and God. And what can be more freeing than to know we have a major role to play in the Drama of Life and are perfectly cast for it? You'll love this book, its honesty and spark of humor that you always expect from Jan."
Allison Bottke, Author, Speaker, God Allows U-Turn Series


"Get real, that's exactly what Jan encourages us to do in The Woman Behind the Mask. Tired of playing games and merely putting on a show? if you're serious about getting real, this book shares in a very creative, insightful way just how you can trade the fake life for an authentic one...and be complete in the power of God. Perfect book for a glorious spiritual makeover. I loved it!!!!!" (a reviewer)

Male reviewer , Jim Miller wrote: I'm a guy. I like football. I don't like chick flicks. and I don't normally read books by women for women. But, I have to confess. I just read one, and though I hate to admit it, it was a delight. Most of us live our entire lives never finding our authentic self. We never discover the person we are meant to be nor develop to our greatest potential. It's easier said than  done. It takes gremendous effort and brutal honest to undo our programmed patterns of living. Jan Coleman offers help for those who feel they must be everything to everybody, even at the cost of who they truly are. "

AFTER THE LOCUSTS;
Restoring Ruined Dreams, Reclaiming Wasted Years - B&H Publishing

Every author has her "heart" book, and for me, this is it. Almost every week I get emails from women who tell me this book has given them hope in God's promise to restore, and has renewed their faith.   

WHAT READERS SAY:

"You are living proof that God writes the best fairy tales.  I do ask for your prayers and you are in mine and I want to thank you for the hope you have given me along with a powerful ministry tool that I can share with the broken women who come into my group.  We started a lending library among our group and your book is always in demand, we simply refer to it as the bug book." Jaime

"I am a prodical. I strayed several years ago. I have been haunted ever since. It seems I will receive some peace and then I'm hit in the face once again. Your book has helped me more than anything I have read except for the Bible." Sherie

"Ever read a book that you couldn't stop talking about? After the Locusts is one of those books. Jan Coleman writes as if she's talking directly to you. She shares many stories from friends she's personally encouraged through ruined dreams, and gives you hope that you or someone you know will overcome those wasted years." Vicki

 "This book would be great for a women's Bible study. Highlighting the Book of Joel, Jan Coleman relives her own failed marriage; comparing that loss to the desolation left by a swarm of locusts. After the Locusts touches on coping with the loss of a loved oned, bankruptcy, dealing with troubled teens, divorce, and much more. You will want to share this book with a friend. I did! "

"AFTER THE LOCUSTS is just right for those who feel they trying to survive tough times/ wasted years, and want to move on. Jan takes your hand and leads you into fresh hope. The writing is excellent, and you will be pulled into true experiences and personal discoveries---that can make all the difference. As I reader I experienced God's nearness and wisdom through these pages. Scriptures and gems of thought almost leaped off the pages. Now I want to read my Bible more. Women who are single, divorced, lonely, hurting will be especially blessed by this book. Yet it will speak to any woman at any time in her life. It makes a thoughtful gift."

Jan has also written UNSHAKEABLE; The Steadfast Heart of Obedience which is now out of print. It's a book for the times about standing for God no matter what. Some say it's their favorite of all Jan's books. Filled with stories of people who loved God with all their hearts, souls, mind and strength and stood on the truth of his word despite overwhelming odds. Truly an inspiring read.

You can still find some after-market copies on amazon.com 
Or contact Jan and she'll send you one.


Jan is also the author of Soul Retreats for Woman and Dear Daughter, two devotional gift books.
