Do you sometimes feel that you are wandering in a wilderness of grief, confusion, and faltering faith? If so, you are not alone. Like the lost children of Israel, many have searched for a way through a personal wilderness. But just as those same Israelites followed God's leading to the Promised Land, you too can find the promised new life in the Spirit. Jamie Buckingham made such a journey - not only figuratively but literally. During a time of intense personal struggle, he traveled to the Sinai. There he found restoration and, in the solitude of a wilderness night, he learned ancient Bible truths that would alter his life forever.

For years Corrie ten Boom crisscrossed the globe sleeping in thousands of different beds and living out of suitcases—all to fulfill her God-given mission to tell people everywhere that Jesus Christ is reality, that He lives, that He is Victor. This remarkable woman served time in German concentration camps during World War II for the “crime” of hiding persecuted Jews and survived to tell the story in her best-selling book The Hiding Place. Her brush with death lent a new meaning to her life. In her own words: “My life had been given back as a gift . . . for a purpose.” After her ...

This book is the precursor to Jamie's bestselling book, Risky Living. It is taken directly from three sermons given to the church he pastored, the Tabernacle Church in Melbourne, Florida, during the period he was writing Risky Living and teaching the church about what walking in the Spirit really means. As Jamie explains, we tend to respond to events in our lives based on the past hurts, experiences and traumas that make up our subconscious. Our life is like a deep mountain lake. On the surface all seems tranquil, while beneath the surface is a boiling cauldron of stress and pain and ...

Jamie Buckingham takes the risk of exposing his own struggles and inadequacies to help you deal with criticism. Learn how to receive criticism without fear by replacing your defense mechanisms with honesty, love, forgiveness, and a sense of humor.

Jamie shares what we as Christians are to do when it turns out that God's plans for our life are different from our hopes or our dreams. What does the Bible say about facing reality? What do the scriptures tell us about trials and tribulations that we all experience? What happens when things go wrong? How do we overcome the great disappointments in life? Jamie's unique ability to tell a story that touches our deepest wounds, comes from his personal experiences, his own disappointments and his faith that God is a loving, kind and giving God. This message will touch your spirit and heal your deepest hurts and disappointments. Spoken to a church following the death of their beloved pastor's wife, Jamie reveals scriptural truths that prove, despite our disappointments or sense that our prayers are unanswered, God has a better plan than we could have ever hoped for ourselves.

In this important book based on a classroom teaching series, Jamie Buckingham draws from his rich theological background, years of personal study and experience, and decades as the pastor of a large congregation to answer six foundational questions that we often take for granted: • Who is God? • Who is Jesus? • Who is the Holy Spirit? • What is the baptism in the Holy Spirit? • What is communion? • What is the church? With great wisdom, humor, and insight, Jamie provides clear and in-depth answers as he explores what the Bible has to say about each of these core subjects. For ...

This is a book of hope, encouragement, and the true-to-life experiences of a man who was told he was going to die, yet he continued to seek God and hold out hope that the Lord of the universe was with him and would be with him all the way to the end, whenever that might be. This book is for anyone who needs to know that God is love and He is still in control.

This book is for Christians and everybody else who takes himself too seriously! Buckingham, renowned storyteller and master satirist, goes behind the scenes to name names and talk about hilarious incidents in his life, and the life of others close to him. No one escapes his pointed pen. The big shots, the unknowns, his wife, his kids, his mother, friend, and foe - all are targets of his humor. He even pokes fun at himself - his weight, his balding head, and his often fumbling methods to represent God.

Have you ever watched an eagle soar? Picture one now, gliding motionless on the thermal winds, far above the gusts that whip the surface of the earth. His movement is most graceful when he yields to the flow of the currents and lets them carry him. That's the way it is with Christians, says Jamie Buckingham, when we relinquish our lives to the movement of God's spirit.

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 deeply polluted. We have customarily pushed the pain of unhappy experiences beneath the surface where it stays quite alive in the subconscious mind. If we follow Jesus, 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.

Over the course of four months, Jamie Buckingham taught on the topic of miracles at the Tabernacle Church in Melbourne, Florida. While he focused his teaching on the miracles of Jesus, he also shared numerous personal stories about modern-day miracles from his own life and experiences. In this book, taken from ten separate sermons preached in early 1987, Jamie digs deep into the Scriptures and reveals how God worked miracles through Jesus—and how He still works miracles in our lives today through the power of the Holy Spirit. From calming stormy waters to delivering men from demons to ...

It is God's purpose and plan for us all to grow old and to go through physical changes. But it is not God's purpose for us to grow old and stop serving Him. Everything changes because our God is a God of change. There is nothing stationary about God. He is always moving and progressing forward and, as Christians, we are part of something God is doing, regardless of our age or physical condition. So regardless of how old you are or how you feel physically, God still has something for you to do for His kingdom.

Christians are under attack from a deadly but invisible enemy. God has given us orders to be armed for battle in spiritual warfare. As we are witnessing in the world today, Satan has mounted a massive attack against Christians and the church. As a result there is a great resurgence of interest in spiritual warfare. Christians of all persuasions must realize they do not have to be pushed around by the devil. Jesus Christ has given us authority, not only to cast out demons, but to bash in the gates of hell.

God is not calling to our intellects. He is calling to our hearts. He is calling to that deep inner place where we are, to where we will become his people. And when we become his people, then he becomes Lord of all. When that happens, then no matter what he does, it is within the realm of his love and his kindness and his mercy and his grace. We have a God who is so great that he will work through us to bring his miracles and to bring his healing. Because it's God who is in control, and we trust only in him.

The story of Hosea and Gomer is probably the greatest love story in all the Bible, because it demonstrates the love God has for His people. Hosea was the first Old Testament prophet to talk about the nature of God. Not only did he talk about it, he acted it out. Hosea took Gomer, a town prostitute, to be his wife. When she eventually left him, Hosea went out to find her and bought her back from the threat of slavery and death. His actions were a prophetic demonstration of God’s love for his people—a foreshadowing of the day when God would give His beloved Son to purchase us and save us ...

This book is about encouragement. It is about the tremendous value of hearing a simple encouraging word and the need for Christians to be encouragers to others. From John Wesley sending a letter to William Wilberforce and encouraging him to press on with his goal to abolish slavery in England to parents encouraging their young son to take his first steps, an apt word spoken, like the proverbs say, are like apples of gold in baskets of silver. Jamie tells the story of sitting in the airport, feeling a little dejected, and having an unknown woman simply touch him on the shoulder as she passes...

Here is the dramatic chronicle of the men and women who comprise the Jungle Aviation and Radio Service (JAARS), the flying arm of the famous Wycliffe Bible Translators. Viewed from a distance, they live a life of color and adventure, but however dramatic and colorful the job of these pilots may seem, it is basically a rigorous, lonely, and thankless task.
