'Pathways to Peace: A Gift from Heaven': New Novel Offers a Fascinating,
Magical Journey to the Solutions to Today's World Problems

ANTELOPE, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- "Fascinating ideas and magical
situations, all grounded in truth and substance." This is how Dr. Jan "The
Renaissance Man" describes what readers will find in the pages of his
inspiring new novel, "Pathways to Peace: A Gift from Heaven" (published by
AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com).
    "Pathways to Peace" traces the lifelong journey of a boy named Winston,
beginning just after his father dies in the attack on Pearl Harbor and weaving
magically through the decades to current times. His father's death leaves this
only child with an incredible sense of loneliness, a feeling that grows deeper
when his mother remarries to a military man and the family moves from one
military base or another, allowing Winston few opportunities to make friends.
    "With only God as his best friend, Winston seeks answers to life's
difficulties and disasters," Dr. Jan explains. "In a turn of events known only
to Winston, imaginary characters appear to help him overcome his loneliness
and discover his destiny. And so, Winston begins a period of self-examination
that would last 40 years and eventually be challenged by his own son."
    Winston's magical, spiritual journey begins with the angel Tavett, who
must first condition Winston into believing in him and in the purpose of his
mission: helping to heal the world, which has been overcome by war, poverty,
chaos, hatred, injustice and misery. Guided by Tavett, Winston becomes a true
questioner, a seeker in life. But as time goes by and Winston grows into a
man, eventually becoming a husband and father, his mission gets put on the
back burner.
    One day, however, his son Michael reignites Winston's vision for peace.
With Tavett still by his side, Winston and a group of friends, the Back Room
Gang, commit themselves to working toward a better world, and Winston is made
privy to more fantastical ideas, visions and experiences than he ever
imagined. The messages of harmony he brings engulf the earth like wildfire,
paving the way for a revolution of peace, love and alliance among all the
people of the world.
    Written for all who are drawn to magical, spiritual solutions to the very
real problems plaguing the world today, "Pathways to Peace" offers a
compelling message of hope. The late Cavett Robert, speaker extraordinaire,
called "Pathways to Peace" "an act of sheer genius." He expounds:
     Jan Cooper has the unique ability to lead the reader through an imaginary
     universe of fascinating ideas, all founded in truth and substance. It is
     a rare gift to be able to elevate us into a dream world and at the same
     time keep our feet on the firm earth of reality.
