From Lee Ann:
I don’t think I have told you, but your “Jerusalem Council” book is a masterpiece. (Going to Jesus.com – The Jeruslaem Council) I have been reading it for the past week and a half and I just shake my head and have said it out loud, “This is a masterpiece”. It definitely takes someone who knows Paul and understands what he was up against to write this, but it’s so much more than that. So many layers of truth. It’s so well done. It’s been hard to whittle it down for the girls because I don’t want to leave anything off.
I’m finishing it up now. Makes me appreciate the time and tremendous effort you put into writing these books. But they have been a tremendous blessing, so it evens out! I believe Paul would enjoy the Jerusalem Council himself! (Wouldn’t that be neat to get feedback on your dialogue from Paul:).

From Amy B:
This is beautiful from LeeAnn. Reminds me of this I read going through my meeting notes last night. It’s from May 2025: John told experience of being in bed (at our house) and the Spirit started speaking to us all (the body of Christ here). John told us his testimony about being in college and reading Socrates and how he got to know him. Point: “I want you to know Paul, from Jesus to you. Do you know Paul? Do you know Jesus? Do you know the man?” Sounds like you got it across and I agree with Leeann, I think Paul would enjoy reading his testimony, and yours!

From Zoli:
This reminded me of a conversation Jamie and I had had the other day while reading the Father and Son book, (God Had a Son Before May Did) (https://goingtojesus.com/gtj_books.html?tname=fands)
more specifically in chapter 6 about the wheat and the tares, the whole topic of who Satan is, what God’s people before the revelation of the Son must have thought about him, God’s “terrifying patience”, etc. During our reading I had to stop and tell Jamie: I don’t think you will find this understanding anywhere in xty or anywhere else! Even though, if you read what the Bible actually says (and what it doesn’t say), it makes perfect sense, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Often times, I stop and marvel at the grace God has shown me in this obscure place, in the tiny country of Hungary, somewhere in Central-Europe, by allowing me not only to receive the most precious gift ever given (the holy Ghost), but also allowing me to hear the truth, to believe it and to love it. I hope and pray that I really do appreciate what God has done for me and us as much as it it deserves to be appreciated. The only right and acceptable way to show our gratitude for it is by letting go of anything and everything we might still be holding on to, trusting Jesus with our whole lives, and loving the Father with everything we have. Amen.
From Wendell:
I feel that “God Had a Son Before Mary Did” can communicate to anyone with an open mind with its simplicity. It is one of your best works.
From Hope M:
Aww that is so sweet and true! Aunt Lee Ann and I went for a walk yesterday evening, and she was telling me the same thing! Thank you for all you have done with writing these books. I love getting to read them, and every time I do, I learn many things I never even imagined or could have even dreamed! It makes the whole Bible come to life! Thank you for all your hard work!
From Bess:
Lee Ann is so full of the Spirit. She writes her feelings out so beautifully, and God has blessed her with a special place in this body with her work with the girls and an encourager to us all.
I am thankful, John, for your labor of love for the work Jesus has laid in your heart and for the heart of love Jesus has put in you for us who are in your care.

From Billy M:
That would be neat hearing Paul’s feedback. The labor of love from God to you to us in writing these books can simply overtake you. There is a topic covered for any situation, and they are full of sound doctrine for anyone who has a desire to learn truth.

From Tom:
Lee Ann’s comments make me want to read “The Jerusalem Council” book again. I feel the same way about the Father and Son book. I just finished reading it for the second time. I wish I could express how much I appreciate that book. It defines who we are and what we have become.
I consider it a gift from Jesus.
Thank you for all the work you have put into these books. Jesus has given us through you, “his best!”

From Jimmy T:
That’s WONDERFUL! Your books are more helpful than the Bible, the way Jesus has put them together through you for his people! My second time going through “God Had a Son before Mary Did” had my heart doing flips inside.
