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 ...

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.

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...

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.

This book contains two teachings on Pentecost by Jamie Buckingham. He discusses the known ancient Jewish feast still referred to as Pentecost and what happened during that time in Jerusalem shortly after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Jamie goes through the scriptures where Jesus promises the Holy Spirit would come after his departure, and how the disciples and many others received him, as told in the Book of Acts, as they waited in the upper room in Jerusalem. The best part is, the Holy Spirit, who had been released in the world back then, is still available to believers today. ...

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?

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 ...

What happens when you are discouraged? Do you understand why the things that happen to you affect you the way they do? Is there a way to overcome your hurt feelings, despair, and disappointments in life? Discouragement affects us all. No one is immune to it. But according to Jamie Buckingham, more often than not, our feelings of discouragement have less to do with something that has happened to us or something that was said to us, and more to do with our lack of purpose in life. Do you know what your purpose in life is? Is your purpose to be served? Or is your purpose in life to be of ...

What does it mean to make Jesus the Lord of your life? When you choose the way in which you walk—when you choose to follow Jesus Christ and make Him your Lord—you voluntarily surrender the right to choose or the power to vary the consequences. Paul said, “When you choose whom you will obey, you make yourself a slave.” That’s the key to the lordship of Jesus: that commitment, that surrender, that relinquishment, where you take your will and put it into the hand of God, and you ask Him to rule you with His will instead of yours. Once you have done that, everything that happens to ...

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 ...

In the last sermon he ever preached, Jamie Buckingham said, "“If I fold my tent now and quit, then the pain I've already experienced and the suffering I've already walked through are for nothing. All the things I've learned throughout this entire ordeal (his battle with cancer) will have been wasted, and the future blessings God has promised for my children and my grandchildren and many others around me will be gone" He went on to say, "We can't afford to stop. We simply can't afford to quit. We must finish the work the Lord has given us, so we can be complete...All you have to do is ...

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 ...

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 ...

The time: approximately 1,200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The place: the Sinai Peninsula, that barren and remote desert that separated Egypt from the Promised Land of Israel. Into this burning crucible, Moses led the children of Israel. They were on foot fleeing the bondage of Egypt, where they had spent the last 480 years. They were on their way to claiming their inheritance, a land they had never seen, a land flowing with milk and honey.
