Janie's Unbelievable Journey: Inspirational Letters Along the Way

by Janie Wilkins

Everyone has a dream. Having taught school for fifty plus years, selling World Book Encyclopedias, setting up school libraries, and a special chemical library, I have catalogued a lot of books. For many years I have wanted to write a book sharing my story. Janie's Unbelievable Journey: Inspirational Letters Along the Way is Janie Wilkins's true story of life as a wife, mother, and educator. She is a lifelong educator with a host of experiences and accomplishments. Growing up in rural north Louisiana, the daughter of a mail carrier, Wilkins went on to attend Louisiana Tech University and was the first student in Louisiana Tech's history to graduate with certification in library science and as president of Tech's first library club. Janie also graduated with a B.A. in English and social studies from Louisiana Tech University. In her career, she has touched many lives through classroom instruction in English and social studies and by setting up numerous public school libraries in Brevard County, Florida. In her free time, she continued her investment in children by becoming one of World Book Encyclopedia's best sales representatives in the south. She was presented the keys to the city of Dallas for her outstanding World Book sales as a teacher representative.

Unbelievable Journey indeed. Learning what all Janie Wilkins has faced and overcome in her life through Jesus was encouraging. But what I found most inspiring was the fact that she took the time to write the letters and notes to her family and friends, and kept them herself. What a great way to pass on your life, history, and faith to your family and the world!
