Books with author JANET JACKSON CRAWFORD

"The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc. Jackson Crawford's modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping. With their individual headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply today's readers with most of what they need to know in order to understand and appreciate the beliefs, motivations, and values of the Vikings." --Dick Ringler, Professor Emeritus of English and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison

For thirty years I have worked at my husband's side running our family-owned business in the Pacific Northwest. I am blessed with three beautiful daughters and enjoy being grandma to my four sweet grandchildren. In October of 2008 my life changed when I learned I had breast cancer. From that moment I continued to pray "not my will but Thy will be done." I never questioned God but did ask Him to give me purpose as I traveled this road. While battling a difficult moment from the chemo treatments, I heard my daughter's voice singing "Breath of Heaven." When I prayed for a breath from heaven the Lord answered with the thought of writing this book. During this project I found myself absorbed, distracted and discovering a secret place with the Lord. When my head was foggy and nothing else made sense, I could turn to my writing and inexplicably and completely focus on it. With the completion of this book, it is my hope that young lives will be touched by the Holy Spirit and the awesome power of God.
