EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Book Description
Anyone who has encountered Jan Coleman knows her vivacious and joyous spirit is infectious. What is most striking about Jan is that she has such a spirit in spite of the hardships she has endured in her life. Her first book, After the Locusts, told of God’s faithfulness to restore, in full, the years of devastation that occurred.

Unshakeable shares more of her story and reveals what she has learned from her experiences of hardships (and yes the hardships have not fully gone away) and restoration. Jan has learned that above all the things God calls us to, at the core of us must be a heart of obedience.

She writes with warmth, truth, and encouragement, inspiring us to see for ourselves that obeying God is the only way we will achieve our purpose in life and have the assurance of complete protection in all our affairs. Personal stories abound, providing practical illustrations that will elevate our faith and trust in the one who loves us with an everlasting love.

Obedience is not a scary thing...  
...it's the right thing--choosing God over that which would draw us away from Him. That's at the heart of Jan Coleman's message in Unshakeable, a fun, easy read, despite its challenging topic. I loved her remark at the end of the book: "There is always a way back to God. His unending love is the inner circle of safety. He doesn't care where we've been or what we've done, only where we are heading now." Jan gently leads us to that point where we can nod our heads and then walk in the same direction--toward Christ. I recommend this highly.

The Teacher Learns  
I'm writing today from inside the parenting-an-adult-child meat grinder. I've been so busy teaching my daughters the lessons of life that I've neglected my own heart issues. "Unshakeable" has reminded me I must be on my own quest toward obedience. I love Jan's writing style - fun and sassy - her honesty and the great stories she tells to drive home the point.

This is a gem of a book!  
UNSHAKABLE is brimming with stories of how the narrow path of obedience leads to freedom and contentment. Jan Colman provides an excellent framework for common weak spots: marital issues, prodigal children, financial struggles and personal integrity. She lays out the problems and the Biblical solutions in a way that is both motivating and engaging. This book has a nice balance of insights and examples it's not heavy-handed or preachy.

My favorite quote: "Obedience often means walking away from a comfortable lifestyle, letting go of a former identity, but when we nod to the vision and turn our steps toward it, the benefits are a stronger character, a deeper commitment, and an enhanced love for the one who leads the way."

As the author of "Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome: How to Grow Affair Proof Hedges Your Marriage" I highly recommend this book's focus on accountability and integrity.

Very inspiring!
