## Resource

What if the words your husband left behind could change someone’s eternity—decades after he was gone? In this powerful episode of the Christian Readers Community Podcast, I sat down with author Jan Johnson to talk about her deeply personal memoir and her moving medical romance trilogy—but what unfolded during our conversation went far beyond storytelling. Jan shared the astonishing testimony of her late husband, Howard, a man of quiet faith whose handwritten journals sat unread for years—until one day, long after his passing, their son read them during a project. What happened next is something only God could orchestrate. We also talked about Jan’s journey through grief, the unexpected ways God brings beauty from ashes, and how real-life experiences shaped the emotion and faith behind her novels. If you’ve ever wondered how God moves through loss, legacy, and love—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. And trust me, there’s so much more waiting for you to unpack. About Jan Johnson Jan Johnson has been married to her husband Ed for 35 years. They live on a 26-acre farm where her husband raises sheep. Jan likes sheep- from a distance! They raised ten kiddos- yours, mine, ours and theirs and had five exchange students. Jan has taught everything from preschool to highschool and now that she's retired, fills her time with building relationships, writing and podcasting.
