Which, being interpreted means . . .

This is a book written by Bro. Jack several years ago as a result of having realized that Christians habitually pick up "Christianese" without checking out the real meanings.

At left of the cartoon is THIS IS WHAT YOU HEARD. The cartoon on the right has WHICH BEING INTERPRETED MEANS. This is a tongue-in-cheek presentation just for the fun of it!

Jack Taylor

Jack Taylor is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth Texas. He was the pastor of several churches over twenty-five years and is the author of thirteen widely accepted books and several tape series.

For the last twenty-six years and currently, he travels extensively, ministering the word of God to the Body of Christ at large. With a visit to Toronto in August of 1994 during which a significant healing took place both physically and spiritually in Jack Taylor, his ministry took a dramatic turn with increased manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit.

Continuing to preach predominantly in the United States in churches of many denominations, with trips to Canada, England, Africa, India, and Taiwan, he added Renewal circles and “Catch the Fire” Conferences to his ministry. Jack has spoken often at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship where Renewal began in 1994, has been a guest multiple times on TBN’s “Praise the Lord” television program, and has participated in many radio broadcasts around the country.

The Lord has gifted Jack with an apostolic insight into the word of God and the heart to communicate the fullness of His Kingdom to any who will hear. Jack is the President of Dimensions Ministries in Melbourne, Florida. Jack was married to Friede Taylor on December 28, 2004. They both enjoy traveling together. When Jack and Friede are not traveling, they enjoy spending time with their grandchildren on the beach.

Friede Taylor

Friede was born in Czechoslovakia the third child of a Catholic family during WWII. The deprivations and unsanitary conditions brought about by the war left her severely ill with typhoid fever and cholera, reducing her prospects for survival. Because of overcrowded hospital facilities she was left to die, her mother informed by the physicians that there was nothing they could do and all treatment ceased. Her father had been taken prisoner by the US Army, leaving Friede's family alone without support. A nurse had pity on them and took them into her home, giving Friede blood transfusions, using her (the nurse's) own blood. This saved Friede's life.
Her father was released at the end of the war and the family moved to Germany where she suffered for years from rejection because her father wanted her to be a boy. Her father, a tailor, lost everything in the war and died by his own hand without ever telling Friede that he loved her.
At 19 Friede married a US military man and moved with him to Columbus, Georgia where they raised a family of three children.

In 1979 Friede converted from Catholicism to Southern Baptist where she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. In 1983, after her oldest son, Gene, took his own life, Friede experienced what she calls an open-heaven experience with God's comfort and protection over her life, an experience which comforted her in future losses.

Her husband died of cancer after 30 years of marriage, leaving Friede widowed for the next 11 years. She worked for the government during their last years together and several years afterward, retiring in 2002.

In 1999 she had a life changing experience with the Holy Spirit. Her pursuit of God brought her to a commitment to and passion for all that God had for her in this life, discovering God to be the Father who loved her and Husband who provided her every need.

In 2004, she moved to Florence , Alabama by God’s divine direction and became Director of Missions with Global Missions Awareness. She has ministered in Mozambique and Cuba with Leif Hetland, GMA Founder and President, and was scheduled to travel to Pakistan with GMA when Jesus and Jack Taylor derailed her plans.

She and Jack suddenly realized God's hand in bringing them together in October of 2004. They were married in less than three months with multiple confirmations from God that this was His will and she moved to live with Jack in Melbourne, Florida.

Friede is Vice President of Dimensions Ministries and travels with Jack, ministering at every opportunity. Friede carries an intense burden and passion for the lost and broken people of the world. Her testimony is filled with power and pathos and all who hear her are moved by the faithfulness of God in her behalf.
