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 ...

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.

What are we to do when things don’t go the way we want, when the rug is pulled out from under us, when something terrible happens? How are we to react? Jamie shares what the prophet Isaiah says we are to do when the winds of adversity blow hard. We are to lengthen the cords to our tents and strengthen our stakes.

We lean into God, praise him and trust him. There’s a tendency in stormy circumstances to ...

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.

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.

This book of reflections on life was written very early in Jamie Buckingham's career as a writer. The majority of these stories grew out of a series of daily radio commentaries over Station WCRS, Greenwood, South Carolina, when Jamie was a young, but “senior” pastor at the South Main Street Baptist Church from 1959-1966.

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.

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 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. ...

God loves you. And if you will let him, he will not only direct your path, but he will give you power to live. That’s what this book is all about: power for living. Let God give you power, not only to live, but to live abundantly.

Have you ever wondered what Disney World would be like if it were centered on Jesus instead of cartoon characters? Would it be a good thing? Or would there just be as much fantasy as any other theme park run by robotics and remote controls? Is it okay to make Jesus and his message more entertaining if people are converted in the process? Or is it better to simply follow the pattern of his life and his lifestyle, and make not just converts, but true disciples?

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.

Soon after Jamie Buckingham was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he went to see his 92-year-old mother who was in a nursing home. He told her, “I am committed to seeking God at every intersection that is ahead of me.” But her reply stunned him. “No, son. You can’t do that,” she said, “because you are walking in a land that has no paths. There are no intersections because where you are going there are no trails. You’re entering a land that has no paths. Instead, you must seek God at every step. Don’t wait for the times of decision, but seek him with every step you take.” ...

Preacher, teacher, story-teller, moralist. Spiritual surgeon, sage, writer, comic. All things considered, it seems the only label that fits author Buckingham is Jamie!

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 ...

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 ...
