Jordan's Message



                Dear Family and Friends   

              Be Kind to One Another in 2018
During my  book signing this past spring. I met many people desiring a life of happiness and I saw many reaching out for kindness.  I realize at many events that introducing my books, and especially this last one I co-authored with another LDS writer, Jewel Adams, I was blessed to meet people that didn’t even want anything to do with a life transformed through kindness, a life inspired by love that could only through the Holy Spirit.  I know the Holy Ghost has inspired my desire to help others through The Road Home and the Christmas Box House, organizations that help to bless broken and damaged children who have been forgotten. 


I realize the gift and the blessing of giving to those who are less fortunate does not stop at Christmas.  My books have a message that needs to be in the heart of everyone who embraces hope, teaching them the ability to share what is inside their hearts.  I know  my published books are different from one another, for God’s glory is sharing His love for you through my books, and 100% goes directly to transform the pain and brokenness many live with today. A portion of the proceeds of Out of the Closet and By Invitation are donated to The Road Home Shelter and The Christmas Box House.


I know that I fall short when showing my gratitude, my love and kindness the way Jesus asked of me to.  The Lord is waiting for us just to realize our transformation can begin for you today.  I strive hard not to hurt others and try to measure up to who I say I am representing, and I try to treat others the way God expects me to treat them, whether I like them or not!  These are things I reach for every day because I want to be a witness of God’s healing power in my books and my teachings to others.


Jesus gave us the best example of how to love each other when He walked on earth.  I’m learning to teach others how to meet the needs of people and my prayer is that God will work through my life this year, sharing my books and my love of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  May God work through you and may the teaching in my books bring comfort to everyone who purchase my books for one purpose ,and that is to transform children’s broken lives. Remember, 100% comes from your open heart and your purchase for you will be changed by changing the lives of a child.   Thank you for making a better life for children by purchasing all five books. 

You be the judge of what you want to share with others as a member of a community encouraging kindness and sharing appropriate messages that inspire everyone to love one another just as Jesus has loved you and me.  This is my desire for all of us, friends, family, biological families, and spiritual families.  Let’s be the change either through speaking or writing books.  Your voice I support and validate to help be the change we all want to see in our world.  Let’s make America great!
             
A CHARITY BY BROKEN WINGS MOTHER’S DAY BOOK TOUR

 Out of the Closet Into the Light

After living a life of abuse, abandonment and homosexuality, Jordan Jantz made the ultimate choice. Leaving his old life behind, Jordan came to know and understand God's love for him, as well as discover his own part in the eternal plan. But this book isn't just about his Christian conversion and lifestyle change, it is also about all the things he suffered that helped to bring him to this point. It's about everything he was, everything he is, and everything he is on his way to becoming. Simply put, this is the story of his journey from the painful, cold darkness into the light. A portion of the proceeds from Out of the Closet Into the Light will be donated to The Christmas Box International to support abused and neglected children.

Embraced
It is hard times that change the course of our lives. In this book
I reveal these moments to show my own fallibility. This book is far different from what I originally envisioned. It reflects what I've found not what I predicted. This book does not follow a conventional outline because as you all know, real life is not conventional. Each experience can become embraced in our life.
We are all writing the story of our life. We want to know what it's about. What are its themes and which theme is on the rise? People want to know where this book is taking them and where they are headed.Not to spoil our heart-embracing ending, but I want to ensure that when the ending comes, it won't be shallow; I will have done something life-transforming for others through this book. This book is about that life-transformation we all want for ourselves. I began this book because I hit that point in my life. I became intrigued by people who had unearthed their true calling...or those people who were willing to try.In this book, Embraced, nothing seems braver to me than facing up to one's own identity and filtering out the chatter that tells us to be something we're not. In this book I hit on an incredible well-spring of honesty. Complete strangers opened their lives and their homes to me, confessing honesty and events that had never been revealed to ordinary people. By that I mean they did not have resources of character traits available to them to give them an uncommon advantage in pursuing a better life.I'm not an expert of any sort. I have not one credential and nothing to speak about in the academic department, just what you all read about in the book produced by author and owner of Jewel of the West Publishing, Jewel Adams, Out of the Closet Into the Light, and the live video produced by the President of North Star International and Voice(s) of Hope, Ty Mansfield. These are the only things that I did that ever can be considered helpful additions to the world we share.I did learn from working on this book, Embraced, that it is the hard times that change the course of our lives. In this book I reveal these moments to show my own fallibility. This book is far different from what I originally envisioned. It reflects what I've found not what I predicted. This book does not follow a conventional outline because as you know, real life is not conventional. Each experience can become embraced in our life. So this book is to unearth the psychological secrets that haunt us. It is not organized by industry or personality type. It is not a travelogue. It is about misconceptions and fears.When people heard this book's title, the most common question I got asked was, "So is your book about your life, or about careers?" and I'd laugh and warn them not to get trapped by semantics. I answered, "It is about people who've dared to be honest with themselves." When reading it, I know you will become embraced.

By Invitation
In a world that is one giant tangled mass of confusion, it is so easy to become lost on our journey through life, and evil abounds,
especially at this critical time. This small book contains personal thoughts of hope and inspired truths about the workings of the atonement of Jesus Christ in every open and believing mind and heart. These are the final days before the Savior's return, and it is our hope that the insights shared in these few pages will help the reader focus on what is truly important in this life, and prompt hearts to prepare spiritually for the coming of the bridegroom. A Note from Jewel: I feel utterly blessed to have been able to share in this project with Jordan. God truly blessed him with a heart of gold, and though many disagree with Jordan's choice to focus on helping the homeless, the Lord has strengthened him during his times of trial and this amazing man is holding fast to the Lord's plan for him, putting the Savior's will at the forefront and not caving to the will of man. After all, man is nothing without the Lord, and in the end, Jordan's adversaries will be judged by THE JUDGE and dealt with accordingly. Like me, Jordan's allegiance lies firmly with God, and God will surely bless him for it.

Thank you all that continue touching children’s broken lives through yours kindness financially buying one of my five books that make the difference in the lives of children.  You have opened the doors of your heart when giving to make a better life for children who are abandon and broken.  In writing this book, I found much peace knowing that God’s love for his people is renewing for my soul as I share God’s glory in the next life.  Every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
Purchase a copy of the new book that I co-wrote with Jewel Adams and you will change the life of a child with gratitude.  You will be blessed by blessing a child on the road home.  Every child needs a little help.  May my portion of this book flow over where hungry children will eat through spiritual peace that I pray for every child. 
100% of Jordan's portion of the proceeds from By Invitation will be donated to help the homeless.
