Volume 1 Return To Follow the Rightful King: A Timely Word for Dry Bones in the Christian Valley
A Prophetic Poem: God’s Extremely Great Army is Coming
As voices coming from those in high and powerful governing positions are demanding that their ungodly dictates be obeyed, this book helps us hear another voice, the voice that is speaking truth from the throne in heaven. That voice is asking Christians to humble themselves, repent, and return to follow Jesus as their rightful King. As the prophet Hosea said,
Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth. (Hos. 6:1–3, KJV)
This book’s timely, persuasive, and convicting message uncovers and explains in depth a centuries-old sin that is unknowingly being committed by a large majority of members in the body of Christ. Its long-time presence has greatly contributed to a Christian valley full of many dry bones. … more
Volume 2 Return to Follow the Rightful King: Freedom from Counterfeits Like the Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual
In an evangelical Bible church, John and his wife were informed by church leadership that they would have to buy a certain manual and study it with their church small home group for twelve weeks or else take a three-month hiatus. They bought the manual; and as they prayerfully studied and compared it to what the Bible said, John began writing what is now volume 2 of Return to Follow the Rightful King. His careful analysis of the Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual shows that it contains a counterfeit message. John describes over eighty claims in the manual that are either false or seriously suspect when compared to the Bible. His analysis is a case study showing how all Christian materials should be examined for their truthfulness, even if they come highly recommended by Christian leaders.

The Thread of Gold: God’s Purpose, the Cross, and Me
A love story between a believer’s heart and the great and loving heart of God. The background of this inspiring autobiographical story offers a rare look at the inner workings of the controversial Local Church of Witness Lee in which the author was persecuted for her personal Christian beliefs. It depicts the gradual development of an environment of deception and provides insight into how people seeking God can be caught up in such groups or cults. The lessons the author learned, the knowledge she gained about Christ and Him crucified, and the truth that set her free are invaluable. For some amazing feedback from readers, a word from the author, and more, visit The Thread of Gold website.

A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies
This book presents a message of hope using personal testimony and persuasive biblical evidence. Jane addresses eight passages of Scripture that have supported centuries of suppression and oppression of Christian women in particular. These passages, like a bunch of lemons hanging in a grape vineyard, stand out as anomalies in the overall body of scriptural truth concerning women. Jane shows how, with due regard for translation principles and the original languages, a few small translation changes can transform these eight lemons into grapes. Practically speaking, her book contains valuable lessons for healthy marriage and family life, as well as male and female relationships in the church. In line with the truth presented in the book, Jane makes a compelling call for repentance of both male and female. Take a look at some testimonials by some who know Jane and have read a Woman of Chayil.
The Song of Songs Woman: A Dance of Two Armies
Jane’s interpretation of the Bible book, Song of Songs, gives a fresh and inspirational understanding of God’s heart towards His seeking and suffering believers, and towards women in particular. Her interpretation focuses on the woman in the story. This woman begins as one who is weak, suppressed, bound, defeated, and without any influence. After she encounters Solomon, she is drawn by his unique and wonderful love for her in her poor condition. As she grows to love and pursue him, she is empowered to overcome great difficulties and, in the process, she learns just how faithful and trustworthy he is. Her relationship with Solomon changes her into a strong, capable, long-suffering, victorious, wealthy, and very influential woman.
Deceived: A Warning to Campus Christians
Jane published Deceived after speaking to a large group of students at a major university about her twenty-year period of deception in the Local Church of Witness Lee, a church that believes it is the only true church. Her testimony will help students avoid such deception. Deceived also makes students aware of campus organizations connected to the Local Church that are found on many college campuses operating under various Christian-sounding names like “Christians on Campus.” These organizations conceal their connection to the Local Church and their purpose which is to recruit young people into the Local Church. They use a specific, subtle recruitment method designed to turn student prospects into Christians who have committed and submitted their lives and futures to the Local Church movement. Jane’s story serves as a wake-up call to students who are unknowingly being led astray.
