The Welcome Song : And Other Stories from a Place Called Home
As the dawn slipped around the Chicago skyscrapers one Sunday morning, Harold and I sang the "Welcome Song" to our newborn child of Joy - Janice Dawn. Through the years Jan has kept the welcome song coming from her heart and home. Her stories weave a path to make it easier to find the "Way"that leads to the heart of God where the welcome song is heard - "God so loves you. Welcome Home!"  --Margaret Jensen, author, Jan's motherDon't open this book! Contents guaranteed to uncork your tear ducts, play with your imagination, throttle your cynicism, and enlarge your heart. Dangerous person, this Jan Carlberg. She might even take you home. All the way . . . Home.  --Stan D. Gaede, provost, Westmont CollegeFor nearly four decades Ive had the joy of listening to my friend Jan Carlberg tell stories.  Its not only a skill she has inherited, but one that she has perfected over the years.  Now in The Welcome Song, they are ours to read!  Each of us has our unique story, Jans centers on those people and places where she feels most at home-her family and Gordon College where her husband, Jud and she have served for over twenty years.  Ive always called Jan my "fun" friend, because she can take the bleakest of experiences and make me laugh.  Her childlike faith, "caught" from her parents and grandparents comes through these stories with a ring of truth that is contagious.  Need a smile, a life, a fresh touch from heaven?  Read this book!  --Gail MacDonaldJan Carlberg is so warm and enthusiastic, she lifts everyone she meets with her humble, inspiring search for God.  All these chapters from her life experiences are like sharing coffee with Jan and connecting with her personal quest for spiritual life and authenticity  --Harold L.
