Our relationships with others can frequently bring about the most enjoyable moments in our lives, but unfortunately they can also bring us our greatest pain. Javan’s books are not just random poems, they are about those relationships. For most people the writings in the books will fit the events that are happening in their lives, and as the events change the meaning to the writings will change. Through the past 27 years, thousands of people around the world have used the books by Javan to express their feelings and better understand their pain. The words are clear and concise and easily understood, as one reader eloquently put it “the books are beautifully simple, yet simply beautiful”.

The books by Javan sell from the poetry category of most stores and poetry is normally not a high selling category. A poetry book that sells 20,000 copies is considered very successful; each of the four titles by Javan has exceeded 200,000 copies. His titles have been on the “Poetry & Plays” bestseller list at the Ingram Book Co. (the nation’s largest book distributor) for over 24 years. This has happened strictly because of the relevance and marketability of the books, even without nationwide publicity or advertising.
There is no telling how many books would have sold or how many lives would have been touched if the national media had picked up on his story.

Javan’s books have very appropriately been called “the teachings of Javan”. They are the type of inspiring and positive teachings that our world desperately needs today. They have also been called the most beautiful books on relationships ever written. They may make you laugh and they may make you cry, but they will surely make you stop and reflect. Most people enjoy the writings, but for certain individuals the books can be a true blessing. We are going to share some of the writings from each book with you; however, until you have actually sat quietly and read through them you will not completely understand their beauty and power.
