Margaret T. Jensen

In 2002 I lost a dear friend. Years earlier he´d given me a list of people to notify if anything happened to him. Margaret´s name and information was on that list. I called to let her know and she was such a comfort to me. A short time later I received the kindest note from her including a book, Lena, which was an absolute blessing to me. I didn´t know Mrs. Jensen but I believe her to be an amazing person and true instrument of God´s love.

I just finished"First We Have Coffee" for the 2nd time. I bought the bestseller at an event sponsored by Stonecroft Ministries, but after 30 years had forgotten many of the stories. Since then I've loaned it to a few friends, & remembered it as 1 of my all-time favorite reads. It remInds me of a stories a lifelong friend has shared about her immigrant Swedish grandparents & their love of coffee. The past week while clearIng bookshelves for an upcoming move, I felt the urge to reread it...

Well, now here it is November, 2022 and I just finished reading "First We Have Coffee".....my first Margaret Jensen book. What a precious story! I was sorry, although not surprised, to find she had passed away. Will look forward to reading all her other books. God bless all her family!

Well if the last one what 13 years late then I guess I am late also. I just read, First We Have Coffee. What a treasure. I am now on a hunt to find other books of Mrs. Jensen's. An inspiration for those who long to walk in a way worthy of the Lord.

It looks like I am about 13 years late to give my appreciation directly to Margaret, but I will offer my appreciation to her family instead. I just read her book Violets for Mr. B and I was so much reminded of the work my own mother did, someone of Mrs Jensen's era. My mom also was a private duty nurse, and she absolutely loved her work. She always felt that modern day nursing didn't measure up to the personal care the "old nurses" were taught to perform. I am so sad I hadn't come across...

We have all lost a grand lady, who loved her Lord, her family, and the multitude of people she touched through her books and talks. I am grateful to God for her and for the friendship we had.
Blessings to all the family.

I have met so many people in my 27 years in the travel industry but few left the impression that Ms.Jensen did. She always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. There are few people that we would look foward to seeing often but she always made for such a wonderful experience that she will truly be missed.God Bless your family and my prayers are with you.

After reading one of Margaret Jensen's books, I was captivated by her writing. I have read almost all of her books and heard her speak a couple of times. She was a charming lady and I'm certain that her books have encouraged and inspired many readers. In Sept. 2005 I was looking for a copy of "First Comes The Wind", and couldn't find it in a local book store. Just a few days later I was at the post office and there was Margaret. I don't believe that was a coincidence. I introduced...

Margaret touched lives throughout the country with her writings and her talks. We will miss her encouraging and inspiring writings. Her book, Lena, was especially an encouragement to me during a difficult time. We mourn her passing, but we rejoice in the fact that she has been reunited with her loved ones who've gone on before, and that she is now in the presence of her Savior, whom she loved and proclaimed to all who heard her speak.
