Since dedicating his life to Jesus at the age of 23, Terry Allan Christian has been reading the red lettered version of the 4 Gospels as recorded in the KJV Bible. Even though Terry reads the whole Bible, his primary focus is on the words of Jesus and the example of His actions.
Terry grew up in a violent dysfunctional family where he quit school at 16 and left home. He stuttered so bad he could only say 3-5 words in a row. His family and friends mocked him and that caused much stress in his early life.
At the age of 23, he had a near death experience and in which he had a dream. In this dream, he was told that one day he would be a teacher for Jesus. Needless to say, he was scared at first because of his stuttering and lack of structured education however, he always had a child-like faith and trust in Jesus as Lord.
After the dream, he was soon hired by the Dale Carnegie Organization and trained in sales and public speaking, where he met a man who taught him how to visually read. During the next few years Terry read several hundred books on the subject of personal growth.
At the age of 30, Terry became a professional Motivational Speaker and Executive Trainer and over the next 20 years he would deliver more than 2,500 presentations to private and public audiences across America and Canada.
Several years ago, Terry retired as a public speaker after feeling the Holy Spirit redirecting his life. He was led to do what Jesus told him many years earlier. After researching the 4 Gospels he composed the book What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master, using only the Words spoken by Jesus as recorded in the 4 Gospels, without adding any personal comments or opinions.
As in all God called missions it took longer, cost more and challenged him to the edge of his faith. He would later say, he had to read the Book of Job just to understand why this was happening to him and was he being tested or penalized. In the end, he was being tested and by the grace of God, he prevailed.
Now after 12 years of study, obedience, difficulty and struggle, this book is now available in Paperback, eBook, Audio Book and Kindle.
Today, Author, Teacher and Counselor, Rev. Terry Christian is founder of Foundations for Life ‘Online’ Ministries and he presently lives Negril Jamaica where he does local missionary work in schools and churches while counseling Christians worldwide online thru his program Christian Helping Christians.
Negril, Jamaica is where Rev. Christian went to fast & pray while seeking divine healing for Bladder Cancer. His doctors gave him 3yrs to live so he created a healing sabbatical and after fasting & praying, and walking the beach for 21 days, he returned to his Doctors and they released him ‘cancer free’.
Terry calls this program: The Life Walk –aka- The Miracle Walk and now offers this ‘restoration’ program online or in Negril, for Christians seeking Life, Health or Marriage Restoration.
Rev. Christian believes: WITH GOD, all things are possible, all the time, wherever we live and at every given moment, when we pray, believing.

Thanks for stopping by! What attracted you to the Religion / Spirituality genre?
I was instructed by the Holy Spirit to compose this book, What Did Jesus Say, so I obeyed.
Do you write in any other genres?
Not at this time.
What inspired you to write What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master?
I was told by Jesus in a near death experience, at the age of 23 that one day I would
teach for Him. Then 30 years later I was given the instructions to compose this
unique book without adding any opinions or comments, just the pure words from
Jesus as spoken to those who loved and followed Him. And now (48yrs later) it’s
being released worldwide, online in Paperback, ePub, Kindle and Audio Book
Can you give us your book blurb so others can find out what your book is about?
Imagine you’re walking down the beach and you come across a crowd of Believers,
waiting for Jesus to appear and teach them. What would He say? Would He spend
time talking about religious and political conflicts or would He speak about Love
Light, Truth and Forgiveness? Join us, as we go for a walk with Jesus, and listen to
His words. Listen as He shares with us, the Seven Messages from the Master. Each
spiritual message reveals His teachings that will strengthen you and guide you to a
most peaceful life in Christ.
Excerpt From: Rev. Terry Allan Christian. “What Did Jesus Say . . . The Seven Messages From the Master.” :
Message #1- The Christ: (Opening) I AM the Christ, I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. / Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Message #2- Now I want to tell you about My Father My Brothers and Sisters, I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father - As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to
you that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
And, This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
