Product Description


One morning, as was her habit, Jan Kolb opened her Bible and read from Proverbs:and received the command 'to write.' After continued prayer, she decided to create devotions to accompany a series of hymns that had been composed through the power of the Holy Spirit and given to her husband, who could not even read music! She sat with closed eyes, pad and pen in hand, and began to pray. Soon she was praying very deeply in Spirit. To her surprise, sentences began to form like soundless whispers within:and with her eyes closed, she scribbled all that she heard the whispers say as she prayed. When she finally looked down at the pages she had written, there were scribbled lines all at a slant:but readable. She knew the messages had been given to her by His Spirit. Each included a scripture passage, a devotion-like message, and a closing prayer.Each morning thereafter, Jan was drawn deeply into prayer through the power of the Holy Spirit, and each morning she was given a new writing:sometimes several. And so it continued until there were forty-five writings each complete with scripture, meditation and closing prayer, and each with the title of a hymn from her husband's collection.You do not have to have a piano or instrument to enjoy the hymns, for they can be read as poetry, or sung softly without accompaniment of any instrument.


From the Inside Flap


'Whispered Notes is a beautiful marriage of devotions, written by our mother, Jan, and coordinating hymns, written by our father, Bob. These dual blessings have touched many lives as they were given straight from the heart of our Lord. 'Jesus our Savior' has been sung at our sister's and niece's weddings and at both occasions was a powerful witness to the gift of eternal life.' Barbara Kolb Egan and Laurel Kolb Kuhl 'Whispered Notes has been a constant presence in our home for years. I display it proudly on our piano, so it is always available for a little 'sit down' at the piano bench to relax and play some hymns, and clear my mind and open my heart to the Lord. Having the devotion right there, next to whatever hymn I happen to choose, makes my time at the bench more meaningful and important. Knowing these are my parents' reflections has great meaning for me today, and for all my tomorrows. It's a gift to our family, my children, my grandchildren, and to future generations. My parents' devotion to the Lord, and their love for HIM and for each other, will live on through this wonderful collection and impact future generations long after they are gone from this earth. A true legacy! We've enjoyed singing Dad's hymns through the years, and one, in particular, 'Jesus My Savior,' has been sung at two family weddings: my sister Janna's in 1994 and my daughter Leslie's in 2013. A great hymn to reinforce a good foundation for marriage. Whispered Notes is a family treasure, one that will continue to bless through the ages....' Rob and June Hudson (Bob and Jan Kolb's oldest daughter and son-in-law) 'Whispered Notes is an all-inspiring celebration of devotion and musical achievement - inspired by God and written by Bob and Jan. I highly recommend you immerse yourself in these weekly writings which were beautifully crafted in harmony with their beliefs and God's timeless teachings.' Michael and Jessica Drakely 'Whispered Notes has been a part of my life and that of my family's for years. My father was a prolific hymn writer and this book was a collaboration between him and my mother, who wrote all of the meditations along with his music that created a powerful worship experience. Whenever my family and I traveled to New Hampshire to spend time with my parents and get away from our busy day-to-day lives, we would always use Whispered Notes as
