Leave your email address and I will choose one winner. In honor of her special anniversary, I have an extra copy of Love Comes Softly to give away to one commenter. Julie Klassen Love Comes Softly, 40th Anniversary Commemorative Edition You have touched and inspired innumerable readers (and writers) over the years, and I am blessed to be one of them.” I was also impressed to learn that she answered every one of her fan letters by hand. I remember her giving God the glory for her success and modestly explaining her writing process, saying she would simply pray, go for a walk, then come home and write the next chapter. Janette-quiet, humble, godly, and oh-so-likeable-made a big impression on me. I’ve had the privilege of reading many of Janette Oke’s books and working with her during my early years as a marketer and editor for Bethany House Publishers. I felt unworthy to be included, but also honored. What an inspiring training ground that was for someone who dreamed of being a published author someday!Īnd now, I am no longer young (though still hopeful and still with more to learn) but recently I was touched when Bethany House asked me to write a tribute to Janette to include in the 40 th edition of Love Comes Softly. I am grateful for her godly example, as well as that of Beverly Lewis, who I also had the privilege of working with over the years.
