Awww your such a sweetie. Although you reallly should have a sad face saying go buy the book!!!!

[General Joy]

I have 'Chasing Down the Dawn'. I liked reading it.

[LonelyLullaby]

I don't have any of her books either. I want to get both Chasing Down the Dawn and Revealing Jewel but haven't had a chance to yet. It's definitely on my list though.. I love her poems and love her as a person so I think I'll enjoy both books.. it's just another thing that I can enjoy of Jewel :agree:

[kjm030584]

I have:

A Knight Without Armor
Chasing Down the Dawn
Music Books for: POY, Spirit, This Way, and 0304
Revealing Jewel
Angel Standing By: The Story of Jewel

that's about it.

I also have a lot of magazines with her in it and that readers digest with the article about her early career.

And I have the tour book from the This Way tour.

[Little Bird]

Oh i have the readers digest mag too. Didn't know anyone else with it.
I bought my copy in my local newsagents at the time

[R*Philippines]

i have "A Night Without Armor"
i read some of the stories in 'Chasing Down the Dawn' when boycardle of JEWEL PHILIPPINES lent the book to me.

[Veilingmeat]

Iv 'A Night Without Armor' but i must say tho, not all of it interested me...alot of her earlier stuff was nice with a slight tinge of punk and great artistic expression etc...but some i just could not complete reading fully :P

[Craig]

I have Chasing Down the Dawn in hardcover and paper back...two different cover photos. I haven't read either but I know they will be good. Someone gave it to me on tape too. Who has a cassette drive anymore???
I also have Revealing Jewel.
-Craig

[Little Bird]

I have a few of her books. I am not surprised I am not alone in how many people have them.

Dave....you are shameful!

Since the thread is about books, i might as well add this link:
JEWEL Jewel (Rare 1999 official Japanese East West label promotional glossy colour handbill/press leaflet featuring superb pictures of Jewel, tour dates, discography and opens up to show a montage of different magazines that feature Jewel on the cover!).

I have Chasing Down the Dawn and I loved it, I am hoping to get A Night w/o Armor for Christmas this year since you can get it for a penny on amazon - ha. But I haven't ever heard of the others, Revealing Jewel or Angel Standing By. Anyone have info on them? and they have music books for the albums as well?

[Little Bird]

I have Chasing Down the Dawn, A Night Without Armor and Revealing Jewel. Revealing Jewel is a really nice book written by her family and friends. It's a true account of who Jewel is as seen by those closest to her so it's really nice to read.
You can still buy it so perhaps you could ask for it for your birthday ;)

[Crawfy-Glasgow]

Hi,i am not a reader at all,i had probably only read a couple of books in my whole life,but i read my hardback copy of 'Chasing Down The Dawn' and i loved every minute of it.I really felt i got to know the real Jewel,her writing was so personal and expressive that i could'nt put it down,i thought it was fantastic,and i recommend every Jewel fan who has'nt read it,to try to a.s.a.p.
I have ordered another copy of it so that i can lend it out to other people who i have encouraged to check it out,and my copy has pride of place on my glass coffee table.
I also have 'A Night Without Armor' and i liked the poetry very much.
I will have to try to track down the other books mentioned in this topic.
I also have mint copies of her tour programmes.
I always try to collect anything concerning Jewel.
Oh,i was in Florida late November and on the second day we were driving down the 192 Highway and i was flicking through the radio stations when i came across Jewel singing Who Will Save Your Soul,it was so cool,you just don't seem to hear her in the UK very often,so it was brill to cruise down the Highway lin the sunshine istening to her.
Wish i could have seen her live when we were there but the gigs were too far away,still there is always next year,(hopefully).
Cheers everyone !!!

[last_dance_rodeo]

I bought the audio version of chasing down the dawn on cd but they sent me cassettes from amazon but it's still awesome because Jewel is reading her life stories to you. I also have revealing Jewel and it's a fantastic book.

I have these 3 as well....however, I forgot I had Revealing Jewel and said in the poll I only have the other 2. Oops!!

They're all GREAT! For those of you who may not have any of them, I'd recommend reading CDTD first and go to Revealing Jewel next. Revealing Jewel really solidifies everything special about Jewel that you learn about in CDTD because it's accounts taken by family, friends, and those in the music industry. They all have the same great things to say about her!

I've got the audio for CDTD too on CD. It's nice to hear it from her directly!!

Thanks to whomever mentioned the 'Angel Standing By' book!! I didn't even know that one existed.

ALSO, I found another book available about Jewel called "Heart Song: The Story Of Jewel" by Scott Gray. Apparently this author loves to write about people who came from small towns and have risen to fame. His other books include biographies on Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Shania Twain. You can get it for dirt cheap at Amazon.com.

[ItBeThatWay27]

hey now I have 2 more Jewel books. My wife and I always exchange our Christmas gifts with each other Christmas eve morning b/c Christmas even night we exchange personal gifts w/ her family and in the morning we open "Santa"s presnts w/ her family. But anyway she got me ANWOA the book and the audio CD :) she got me Revealing Jewel and then she got me the life uncommon dvd :) :)

[strengths.with.faults]

the ANWOA's audio cd doesn't have all of the poems though. bummer

[ItBeThatWay27]

yeah I noticed that as I was listening to the cd and looking through the book @ the same time.... that's weird.

[Little Bird]

the ANWOA's audio cd doesn't have all of the poems though. bummer
I never knew that. Are there 2 versions by any chance a 'bridged' version and an 'unabridged' version. If so, then I presume the version you have is bridged meaning it has been cut down.

Well I'll check that one out a bit further.

[ItBeThatWay27]

the one I have is 87 tracks, maybe the unabridged version is just one straight track including all the poems??

[DreamsLast]

Hey, I found ANOTHER Jewel book!!

[Little Bird]

Never seen or heard of that book before! Looks very professional.

I've checked it out. It was published by Omnibus Press in 1998 and written by Mark Bego (http://www.markbego.com/bio.htm). You can buy used copies of it at Amazon.com. It is now out of press.

I just got this book in the mail the other day. I MUST say this book is awesome!! The first half of the book is mostly detailed description of Jewel's life as a child and how those experiences lead to the person she became as an adult. There's also some things mentioned that I never really knew about...the description of daily life and they way she sees her goals really makes you feel like you're experiencing it with her. Very good book!! Everyone go get this one, it's spectacular!

[JewelJK]

I've seen this on eBay quite a few times. It seems to make the rounds once in awhile! Thanks for putting a link to it here for anyone interested!

[cherry-queen]

i have Chasing Down The Dawn. I really enjoyed reading it.

[Lara]

I wish I had Chasing Down The Dawn and Revealing Jewel. Is there some interesting details? Like, did jewel have a guitar when she came to San Diego? While she was homless, did her Mom live in a car too? I did read a few thing, but never really understand how things went...

I think Revealing Jewel is the best of all her books and it has the most interesting information about her life from her closest friends and family. Her mom, brothers, Ty Murray, Steve Poltz, Alan Bershaw and guys in her band are all interviewed in it and it has a lot of great photography behind the scenes like in the studio and at home.

[kjm030584]

Yeah, that's one of my favorite books, I have Chasing Down the Dawn, and A Knight Without Armor and I have the audio books for both.

From what I read in the book, it is my understanding that Jewel had a van, and her mom had her own van. They parked them next to each other, and that's how they lived. They took scraps of fabric and fashioned curtains in the back so they could sleep. You should def. read this book, I learned quite a bit from it.

[Remase]

I got four books. But gotta say that I don't really get the poems. Maybe it's the language barrier, or maybe I'm just illiterate, or maybe I'm just not a fan of poetry. But I bought the book anyways :excl: Just wanted to 'have' it :cool2:

- A Night Without Armor
- Chasing Down the Dawn
- Revealing Jewel
- Angel Standing By: The Story of Jewel

[louloublu]

Does Jewel read these?

[Crawfy-Glasgow]

Hi everyone,i have got 'A Night Without Armor' also i have 2 copies of 'Chasing Down The Dawn' because i loved reading it so much i had to buy another one so i could lend one out to friends to get them into Jewel,but i would always have mine to read whenever i wanted,i also have a couple of magazines with Jewel features and a couple of lovely Tour books,including one from the 'Spirit Tour',they are so well made,great arty pics etc.
I will try to aquire the other Jewel books that are now available too,you can never have enough i guess !!!

Cheers guy's, Crawfy !

[JThisWay620]

I have both the book of poetry and Chasing down the Dawn (which is my fav)a s well as the revealing boko and a biography.
I must say that "Chasing" really influenced my journal writing. I started to imitate her style a bit with much more reflection and mood, or at least trying to incorporate that in a journal entry. I remember buying taht book and read it in a few days, awesome book.

[Sonne]

Hi:
I sadly don´t have none of them. I can´t get them here in Europe (Spain).
Take care, Sonne
