Jet has a new book!

JET would like to let you know he has put together a new book entitled, Kindness.


We have tried to help tell his story, through his perspective and by his example.

God guides us to help one another as we travel on this Journey of Life.

I think we can all agree, JET is a very special companion.

We hope you enjoy it!
