The Rev. Dr. Joe Bowen, Minister, The United Methodist Church

"... a book about life... the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's real, it's engaging, and it's relevant. Jackson does a great job of creating characters that you come to know personally. You can't wait to turn the pages to see what they do next. I had a hard time putting it down!"

Lanny Donoho, Author of God's Blogs, Director of BigStuf Productions

"A revolutionary new genre sure to be imitated, Jackson's insight is never "preachy" and her candor is unnerving. On This Side of Heaven is an unpredictable read right till the end, and it rings true. I will examine my motives differently forever. I can't wait for the movie!"

Lee Chadwich, Author of Some Assembly Required, Owner, The Metropolitan Club

For the Love of Heaven 

"Another Jackson jewel! She weaves an exciting, unpredictable story which characters seem so real, I absurdly find myself wanting to pray for them! In weakness they climb from the pits of ther people's mistakes into love and redempton. It's gonna make a great movie!"

Judi Collins, President, SonVessel Films

–

"Vividly portrayed! Believable characters dealing with everyday struggles, issues, victories and joys with which we can readily identify. Fabulous ending - sort of the "bright" side of heaven, where everybody lives happily thereafter."

The Rev. Dr. Joe Bowen, Minister, The United Methodist Church

Beyond the Cross, Sanctification, a Lost Teaching of the Church 
A fabulous book for leading small groups in the church!

"Jackson beautifully brings together, in a working union, two important factors of the Christian life - the renewal of God's Spirit in humans and the living out of this relationship - both essential pieces in the understanding of the fullness in the work of the HOLY SPIRIT!"

The Rev. Dr. Malone Dodson, The United Methodist Church
