The first part of the book deals with the author's spiritual life and her experiences with the Holy Spirit, angels, telepathy, prayer, and healing. Her life-long empathy with animals, beginning with household pets, and even the horse who pulled the milk truck, has grown into a deep concern for all animals and a soul connection with her cat companion, Rochester. Along the way, she discusses many books that influenced her deeply and support her conviction that all life is connected and responds to love. The second part is a journal recording the thoughts of Rochester, previously featured in Compassion for all Creatures. His simple, loving observations reveal the heart of an angel. The strongest message is: "If a creature of God could speak to you in words that you could understand as if it were a human speaking, could you then ever eat a creature again?" "Once again the delightful and insightful Jan Kolb has provided all of us who truly love animals with another warm and wonderful book about how we may enter into deeper communication with our beloved pets. Journal of Love is destined to become a classic in the field of transpecies communication." Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger, authors of Animal Miracles

As readers of Jan Kolb's previous books know well, the author has had a deeply loving and sacred relationship with her cat, Rochester. He spent his entire life with her as companion, encourager, precious friend, and Angel. With his sudden illness and death, Jan's life was plunged into grief, and she began this book immediately to honor Rochester and help herself and others experiencing grief. The book is a passage through grief, written in journal form. It is for human grief also, as there is no difference in grief - we all experience it when we lose someone we love. It explores dreams, visions, walking, memory loss, depression, the consolation of cremation, examples of ways humans have grieved for humans, journal writing, ways to help ourselves, and through it all, the passage through days and nights of mourning the physical absence of a beloved companion. Many do not anticipate that our loved ones' spirits never leave us, even though they have gone to Heaven and await us there. Many do not want to have a continual presence of a loved one who has passed, but many do. For those who are open to this prayerfully, it truly happens, as Jan attests in her experience of the blessing and comfort of Rochester's continuing spiritual presence. This book can bring comfort to those who love deeply and desire this incredible bond.

In Reflections by the Lake, the author has replicated some of the jottings from five of the many dozens of journals she has written over a lifetime. No effort was made to correct grammar or sentence structure, or even to put her thoughts in a more readable form. They appear in this book exactly as she wrote them, except for some deletions made because of their personal nature. Because her life has been built around an active meditation and prayer life, she has interspersed the journal entries with chapters on various aspects of meditation. These meditations contain poems, quotations, and real helps for allowing you to find peace and contentment. To expose one's self by revealing things from those secret places in the mind can present a real challenge. Jan has accepted that challenge in an attempt to help others as she has helped herself. She has contributed much to her own happiness by simply recording events and reactions, then later reading and reviewing them. As a result of reading, meditation, and reviewing her own journal entries, she is better qualified to face life's every day assaults. Jan has kept journals not only to record events, experiences, and issues currently active in her life, but also to analyze them. Journaling explores thought processes and provides a reference point for future thoughts. A journal also involves study and analysis of the writer's life and the direction that life is taking. It provides reflections and observations to which the writer can return to examine and interpret experiences and observations in order to better understand them. The journal becomes a check-list for life's goals and enables those goals to be fulfilled to a greater degree. In reviewing what was previously written, the author may develop a much clearer view of the events that were recorded. She may then be in a better position to analyze what her real goal was, what really happened,
