Hi! I’m Jane Harber. I’m a Christian author and a licensed belief
therapist (basically the Christian counterpart of a licensed professional counselor). To give you a thumb-nail sketch
of the basics, I was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and lived half my life in that state. I graduated from Cheshire
High School in 1963 and Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) in 1965. My employment experience includes secretarial
work in various industries, including being an Executive Secretary for the Chief of Police and Board of Police Commissioners
of the New Haven Police Department. I then transferred my career to counseling with those people who had been victims
of crime. After living in Connecticut for thirty-four years, my family and I moved to the west Texas area. There,
I enjoyed what I consider to be the most important facet of my life … that of being a homemaker and mother.
After many other endeavors along the way, I had the opportunity and blessing to be involved
in prison ministry. I’ve also been active in my local church, where I taught Jr. High Sunday School, organized
and directed Vacation Bible School, and directed the praise & worship team. Over the years, I taught women’s
Bible study classes and discipleship classes for new Christians, as well. I believe that the Lord’s call on my
life at that time, was to make a home for my children and plant seeds into His Kingdom. Now that my children are
grown and gone, it is my heart-felt desire to stay active in ministry for as long as the Lord will allow.
I continue to keep up my studies for my license, and at this point I’m specializing
in problems associated with the many different aspects of grief. It was when I got my license in 2001 that I began writing.
I also write and conduct seminars based on my books. My latest work, which is currently in the production phase at Tate
Publishing, is called “Go Ahead … Make My Day!” It’s scheduled to be released later this year.
With the current economic situation producing its consequences, as well as other traumatic events in the lives of many, this
book will be a stimulating and inspirational take on experiencing times of rest and refreshing. It’s sure to bring
healing and thirst-quenching revitalization to our minds, emotions and physical well being.
For a while I worked with Texas Youth Commission at one of their facilities. I absolutely
loved working with those youth. As a result of that, as well as my studies, I wrote a behavioral management program
for troubled teens. It’s called “Quit Digging! A Lifeline Of Hope For Troubled Teens.”
“Quit Digging!” goes back to the basics, discovering how we learn and how we got to be the way we are. It
then follows through to recognizing and confronting thinking errors, replacing them with healthier, more positive choices.
“Quit Digging!” offers help and hope to those troubled teens struggling in our world today. I conduct seminars
based on this program as well.
My dream is build, open and operate Christian, nutrition-oriented, assisted living facility/ranches.
The program will be intergenerational, encompassing both youth and partially disabled adults who need assistance in their
daily living, residing at the ranches. In addition, animals living on facility grounds will play a significant role in ranch
activity programs. For further information, or if you are interested in joining us in our endeavor, please check out

If you would like further information, or if you would like to schedule a seminar, I can be

Did you know that Salvation and Healing go hand in hand; in fact they are considered twin gifts. In other words you cannot
have one without having the other. One may be known and recognized, yet the other is so greatly neglected. Yet both gifts
operate on faith, and on the same God Who is Jesus and this through Spiritual means that are far greater than ourselves and
beyond our own comprehension.
If you are saved, then you have the right to be healed, this is the Father's promise to you. If you don't claim the promises
given than how can the promise be fulfilled in your life?
Ask and it shall be given you, ask in faith, knowing that God is able to do what you ask, because He is able, and He alone
is worthy.
These are thoughts and wonders you may want to consider and ask the Father to give you understanding on, for He is more than
willing to share these things with you; in fact, He longs to do so and attempts to each and every day. Today, will you listen,
then you will hear the voice in the desert.
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who
beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed,
is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
Psalm 103:1-5
Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he went down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedfast for eight years and was paralyzed.
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [now] makes you whole. Get up and make your bed! And immediately
[Aeneas] stood up.
Acts 9:32-34
AND JESUS summoned to Him His twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out,
and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity.
Matthew 10:1
And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without
charge) give.
Matthew 10:7-8
Then the disciples came to Him and said, Why do You speak to them in parables?
And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been given.
For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance;
but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because having the power of seeing, they do not see; and having the power
of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand.
In them indeed is the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never
grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.
For this nation's heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they
have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp
and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them.
Matthew 13:10-15
