“I was excited to a read a book written by a fellow home schooling mom! Her book blew me away. I read it as a read aloud, with my kids begging for one more chapter every time! My son was constantly comparing his heart struggles with Henley’s and realizing that he too can be a hero. What an amazing revelation for an 11 year old boy! Please read this book to your children!”

“Star and the Book of Treasures is a great sequel to Jane Smith’s first book, Henley and the Book of Heroes. This entrancing allegorical tale is far more than an entertain- ing story of fantasy for children; it also powerfully opens to us spiritual keys to unlock the supernatural realm for our lives today. You will be captivated by the transforma- tion of Star, the story’s heroine, which will inspire you to walk in your true identity as a son or daughter of the King. I highly recommend this book. This book has all the hallmarks of courage, intrigue, adventure, and the prize that is finally awarded to the Overcomers.”

“I will admit that I was a bit skeptical about “Henley and the Book of Heroes”, assuming that it would be a kid’s book (and I am far from being a kid!).  In short order my skepticism was gone and I was absorbed into Henley’s world.  Dr. Smith has found an uncanny way of writing a book that is at once pure fantasy while at the same time, absolute Truth.  A must-read for families and kids of all ages.”

“An awakening awaits the readers of The Living Tale. For far too long the things of the Spirit have been taught like the lull of a bedtime story. After reading The Living Tale, I no longer need to ask how to fan the flame within. This is a must-read for families. This tale brings the reality of the supernatural to life.”

“Jane Smith is a master of using fantasy to guide her reader through overcoming fear and doubt. Working from the premise that we all have purpose, we are plunged into a story and placed into the life of the characters. The real world of the mind gives way to the fantasy world of the soul. The challenge is to combine the two worlds with our choices and achieve the very desires of our hearts. Using allegory, Jane takes us to a situation most of us can identify with and shows a path of achievement. At the same time, we are entertained with intrigue, dangers, fear, and a twisting plot that remains long after reading the final word. “

“Henley is every boy with a hurt, an attitude, and an opportunity to enter into a great adventure that leads to the healing of his heart. Jane Smith has written a winner about the ability of every family to love and support a hurting child, and the presence of a God who knows just how to reach each and every one of us with his love. I hope every parent reads this book out loud to his or her children.”
