God
Is at Eye Level—Photography as a Healing Art
Quest
Books (2000)
$21.95
This
is a book about photography's power to heal, transform, bridge
gaps between people when language falls short. Photography
is embraced as a practice that can lead to flashes of surprising
insight and open doors to a deeper knowing. "May we,
as image makers, shapers of the culture, set our sights on
things we value, rituals we engage in that heal and serve.
May our images honor the ordinary endeavors of common people,
and may they make their way to the eyes of the weary—light
to the dark, fire to the chill." •
from
God Is at Eye Level
"Jan's
wealth of talent, fearless voice, and fomenting creativity have resulted in a
wondrous book that is part photographic exhibit, part memoir, part spiritual teaching,
and part self-help workshop. Each luminous element could stand proudly on its
own, but we get all four. What can I say? Buy, view, read, and love this book!"

Making
Peace is a book of photographs and reflections about an
18 month global peace pilgrimage. It is an account of the
author's spiritual transformation as she moved from her Western,
Christian, social activist roots into cultures and communities
that challenged her values at every juncture. "In order
to create a culture of peace, a culture that reflects our
reverence for life, we need stories and symbols that heal
and guide, that help us remember we are part of a whole."

from Making Peace
"This
is a splendid book! A vivid account of one daring, inquisitive
woman's search for the things that make for peace."
