Chapter 29 Revisited: The amazing true story of what happens when a typical American housewife meets Jesus!

This is the true story of what happens when a typical American housewife has a divine encounter with the Lord and becomes a modern-day disciple. How does her husband react when he finds a gospel tract between the ham and cheese in his sandwich? Or her children when their mother starts answering the phone, "Praise the Lord" every time that it rings? Jean Coleman is suddenly transformed into a totally new person who views her neighborhood as an exciting mission field and a trip to the grocery store as an opportunity to share the love of Jesus. Even a mishap in the parking lot provides an open door that leads to an unexpected miracle. You will laugh and you will probably shed a tear or two as you read how the Lord has used this very ordinary woman to do some very extraordinary things. Jean's transparent conversations with a patient and loving God are certain to touch your heart and her everyday experiences will inspire you to believe for miracles in your own life. The first edition of this book, originally called simply "Chapter 29," was written in 1976. Since then there have been four additional editions and the book has been printed in five languages and read by thousands around the world. In 2012 the Lord put it on my heart to "revisit" the book and do a major rewrite, including more of my experiences as a friend of God and giving much greater insight into what it's really like to walk in the spirit. An additional chapter has been added called "The Years that Followed," describing the amazing things that have continued to happen in my life since my first encounter with the Lord. I am convinced that reading "Chapter 29 Revisited" can dramatically change your life and increase your faith to believe for the impossible.

Jean Coleman is a friend of God. In 1972 her life was miraculously changed when she heard an audible voice calling her to be a disciple. The book she has written tells of her first few years of learning to walk in the spirit. Several years later in 1978, Jean and her husband Jack were called to raise up The Tabernacle, an International Christian Center located in Laurel, Maryland, a church that became known and respected around the world. After serving as pastors of The Tabernacle for twenty years, the Colemans resigned their position in the church and launched out into a global ministry that is carrying them to the uttermost parts of the earth with the gospel. Their hearts have been particularly joined to the nations of India, Peru and Niger. Previous editions of Jean's book, Chapter 29, have been published in five languages and read by thousands around the world who have been inspired by this amazing testimony of a typical American housewife who met Jesus. Featured in leading Christian publications as a columnist and free lance writer, Jean also served for many years on the Board of Advisors of Ministries Today magazine. She has a deep love for pastors' wives and for ten years distributed a monthly newsletter, The Pastor's Helpmate, that was read by hundreds of ministerial wives. Today Jean teaches several Bible studies every week and continues to serve as a role model to Christian women around the world. The Colemans currently reside in Knoxville, Tennessee.
