About the Author Janis was raised in a large family, the oldest of 6 children, and we moved about in Missouri, Kansas, and then to Chula Vista, California; where after high school graduation she married the love of her life, Ray. The couple had 2 children, Steven and Bryan, and later after going into the ministry helped encourage a very special girl through high school as well. She entered the ministry in 1973, while living in the Denver, Colorado area, and has been ministering ever since, which adds up to 43 years in the ministry. The ministry has always included children to some degree, however, the work was primarily with transients, dysfunctional families, the mentally challenged, and abused people in society. This is where it was learned that if children were taught Bible teachings while very young children, and if these good things were to become a part of their make-up as individuals, then they would become good people too. Janis went on to begin university at the age of 40 and graduated with a Master's degree in Social Work, the Mental Health track, at 45. She continues the ministry, as a retired social worker, and works on Facebook and online where needed doing pastoral counseling and leading the lost to Christ. These stories began coming and sounded like something that someone might enjoy somewhere along the line, and someone might even find these tales as life changing inspirations."
