The title says it all. This is Jamie Buckingham’s testimony in which he begins with the premise that there is much more to our Christian experience than what first meets the eye. Our lives are like placid lakes which are, however, deeply polluted. We have customarily pushed the pain of unhappy experiences beneath the surface where it stays quite alive in the subconscious mind. Thus it is that, at conversion, the Holy Spirit may make some dramatic-looking changes in our lives, but the bulk of our sin remains, largely untouched, hidden beneath the surface. If, however, we continue to follow Jesus, choosing his way instead of our own, the Holy Spirit will lead us to people and circumstances that will bring our sin to the surface where it can be confessed and forgiven.  And what, specifically, are some of the people and circumstances that God has employed in Jamie’s life. The answer to that question is what makes this book lively reading. To bring him to the baptism of the Spirit there were his wife, his publisher, and some harsh confrontations with his pride. He also tells how he learned to forgive old debts, how he, a Southern Baptist, was baptized in Cape Code Bay by an Episcopal priest, and what his son’s experience with music taught him about demons.  He tells, too, how writing books and getting published helped him see another side of his voracious ego. And he broaches the sensitive subject of one’s relationship with one’s parents.  When Christ calls a man to follow Him, Buckingham learned through hard experience, he must sever idolatrous and sentimental relationship — especially blood relationships — in order to make room for the genuine love of God. And what does all this tribulation and discomfort produce. Jamie Buckingham says that what he’s experienced so far had produced a solid contentment. He does not regret opening himself to the searching work of God. It is painful, no doubt, but the peace and freedom have been well worth the risk.     Risky Living Ministries, Inc. www.rlmin.com

Daughter of Destiny: The Only Authorized Biography

Daughter of Destiny\nKathryn's life helped to reestablish a value that has not been the norm for a long time. This is the power of the gospel, burning in us, yearning to be released. May we be forever marked as people for God's glory, and live inspired by this Daughter of Destiny. 
-Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, CA 
 Author of Born for Significance and The Way of Life\nWherever Kathryn Kuhlman went, people who once thought miracles impossible learned to believe in miracles.\nBefore she died, she asked that only Jamie Buckingham be allowed to write her official biography-withholding nothing. Here, then, is the story, not of a plaster saint, but of a very human woman-of marriage and divorce, of betrayal by those she trusted, of the shadowy events that surrounded her death. It is the story of Kathryn Kuhlman that few knew, as she wanted it told-all of it. It is the story of the redhead from Missouri who became the foremost woman evangelist of the 20th century.\nEnhanced with personal photographs from Kathryn's family album, illustrating her life story.\nIt is impossible to write about Kathryn Kuhlman without writing about God. Her life was not her own. In a very real way, she was a daughter of destiny. Chosen. Ordained to be His special handmaiden. -Jamie Buckingham
