Editorial Reviews

Finding Value in a Cracked Pot gives a unique example of how God takes the broken pieces of our lives and makes something more valuable and more beautiful with them if we will only allow Him to do so.

In Jan Henryson's Finding Value in a Cracked Pot, the authors autobiography, I am reminded of what Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "In my walk, every man I meet is my superior in some way and in that I learn from him" in this case her. Jan is sincere recalling the seasons of cloud and sunshine in her life while looking to her faith for strength and as her true North Star. She expresses this in the apt but valuable metaphor of a cracked pot where she truly finds value from and through her trials. 1 Peter 1:7. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

I have known Jan Henryson for about 20 years from the early days of Center for Financial Education. Jan has persevered and carried out God's calling for her to start the CFE ministry. The passion and tender heart that Jan has for sharing Christ's love especially with those less fortunate is amazing. Jan proves that when you have a passion and dedicate yourself to something seeking God's direction, you can accomplish amazing things.

-Ron Heemstra, long-time friend and former CFE board president

Teacher, mentor, advocate, director, and friend are just a few of the titles Jan Henryson has had over the years. I had the pleasure of working alongside her as the leader of a non-profit organization, helping individuals and families put the pieces of their financial puzzle together. Jan would see people often at their lowest and through friendship, prayer, and the unwillingness to give up, she helped them put the pieces together. Her commitment to seeing the best in others even when they couldn't see it themselves is an example we can all strive for. Our Father in Heaven has the same desire for each of his children succeed. We don't always see how he will put the pieces together, but with the help of people like Jan and her willingness to share her heart, the world will be a more beautiful place. Thanks for being you Jan!
