Books by Jane Adams

Mange mennesker har lig i lasten, men nogle har flere end andre.Marcie, en 22-årig kvinde med kælenavnet Bird, møder op ved sin bedstefar Jacks dødsleje. Hun er vokset op i hans hjem efter morens død, og deres forhold er meget nært – modsat Marcies forhold til bedstemoren Mary, grandtanten Alice og faren Alec. Bedstefaren er indimellem temmelig uklar og konfus og taler om en vis Rebekkah og en kvinde med reb om halsen. Det er tydeligt, at han nages af ubehagelige minder, men der er hverken hoved eller hale på det, han mumler om. Marcie sætter sig for at finde ud af, hvad der plager den gamle mand, så han kan få fred – men en gang imellem er det bedre at lade fortiden hvile. En stærkt fascinerende, meget intens og smuk historie, der udspiller sig på grænsen mellem et psykologisk drama og en kriminalroman.

Jane Adams focuses on the transformation of rural life in Union County, Illinois, as she explores the ways in which American farming has been experienced and understood in the twentieth century. Reconstructing the histories of seven farms, she places the details of daily life within the context of political and economic change.

Witnessing is something that Jesus has commanded all of us to do. Does that command make you a bit nervous? Would you like a new form of "witnessing" that is not only comfortable for everyone involved but produces exceptional results? Would you like to feel confident and relaxed while talking to others about faith? Today, there are definitely many negative stigmas surrounding the entire concept of witnessing the good news to others. In fact, while certainly well intentioned, most current witnessing practices have limited success and have even driven millions of people further away from developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Christians desperately need to step back and take a strong look at the examples that Jesus Himself provided when witnessing to others. If we emulate the examples of Jesus, we can completely reinvent witnessing to once again be a positive, enjoyable, and, most importantly, successful part of every Christian's life. Andy Adams was not a Christian for most of his life. He did not come to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ until the age of forty-three. During his pre-Christian life, many well-intentioned Christians attempted to use the typical forms of witnessing on Andy. Because of his history, he has a unique perspective of what does and does not work. In Don't Scare the Lost Sheep, Andy will: ● lead you through understanding the human behaviors along with basic concepts and processes related to witnessing ● help you to prepare yourself and develop a toolkit that you can easily use when the time comes for you to talk with others ● assist you in identifying potential "witnessees" ● guide you to set the stage for your efforts ● teach you to apply specific techniques that have a high probability of success--with a very comfortable approach

A superbly original collection of short stories with an esoteric bias. Each story explores in different situations, often humorous, a paradoxical edge of experience, when the inner and outer life is about to transform; at any stage in life. These stories, light-hearted and profound, were rough hewn by the well known mind-body-spirit author Alan Jacobs, and turned into literary gems by Jane Adams, an artist, poet and author. They express this fertile dialogue, in the inner life. They include two childrens stories for the ever young in spirit. Major influences are Gurdjieff-Ouspensky, Douglas Harding, J.Krishnamurti, and a rich blend of wisdom from the east and west.
