About the Editor
Jean Thornton Solomon

OOOOA classroom in the remote hills of Los Angeles County was not where Jean envisioned herself when she left the lights and cameras of acting in film and television.

OOOOShe wondered as she surveyed the rows of faces not so intently focused on textbooks, What if the Bible were easy to read? What if Bible study were simplified for reluctant or even busy readers? Would they learn from the Bible if they could get straight to the point? Would they do right if they could get the knowledge for themselves?

OOOOThese questions circled through her mind as Jean observed the diverse class of high school boys—too many of them struggling with the printed word—behind bars in a secured county camp.

OOOOIt wasn’t an “ah-ha” moment that inspired her. It was more like an inner compulsion to embark on a God-idea, a directive from the Spirit. Having earned a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, she would compile a collection of the words of Jesus, the Master Instructor.

OOOOYes, others had assembled his words before, but recognizing how Jesus taught, this What Did Jesus Say? would feature The Master’s Instructions, telling people what he wanted them to do.

OOOOIn the spirit of learning, Jean seeks to create environments of discovery and spiritual growth for believers who sincerely desire to mature in the teachings of the Master.

OOOOA native of historic Virginia, she divides her time between her home state and sunny California. Jean serves with fellow intercessors in prayer ministry and manages GladMedia Group, an e-publishing, media, and marketing company.OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONext
