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 example, who is God? According to Jamie, He is not who most people imagine Him to be. He is not "the big guy upstairs." He's not a bearded old man in the clouds, lightning bolt in hand, ready to punish us at the least provocation. To understand who God is, we must first understand His specific attributes as described in Scripture-and Jamie is a master at breaking these down for us. He gives similar treatment to the questions about Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, communion, and the church, and touches on many other essential Christian topics along the way. Do you want a closer walk with God, a deeper relationship with Jesus, and a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's presence and work in your life? Then join the classroom. Allow Jamie to encourage and enlighten you with biblical answers and personal insights into these foundational questions of the Christian faith.

In this book taken from a sermon by Jamie Buckingham, Jamie states there are no prophets or prognosticators for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Nobody knows where the wind is blowing. Jesus said you cannot tell where it is going. Nobody knows. The best we can do is to hoist a weathervane and say, "This is the way it's blowing today." There are no prophets for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Others, on the other hand, have cranked up wind machines and are doing it their own way. I know a lot of people in ministry today who have built huge wind machines. They turn them on and point them in a direction of their choosing, usually in a way that benefits them, and they say, "Look! This is the way the wind is blowing. And if you get involved in my ministry. . ." Be careful. That machine might just blow you off the surface of the earth. The problem we have concerning wind machines and weathervanes, the problem we have is that we want to know which way the Spirit of God is going to be blowing. In fact, we would like it to blow the same way all the time. Wouldn't it be great to know that every time I go out in a boat, there's going to be a following sea? And every time I come back into shore, there's going to be a following sea. Wouldn't it be great if I never had to go through the tall waves, but instead there was a wind at my back always pushing me along? We want to walk by sight rather than by faith.

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 OK 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? Jesus World, a novel, is a fictional study of the differences between high profile Christianity, riddled with compromise yet justified by countless conversions, and simple Jesus-like discipleship. Can both exist side-by-side? Or will one overtake the other, in the name of God?

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. The prophet Isaiah said it best: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31). Our problem is we are trying to do life in our own strength, and it's not enough. We need God. We need His Son, Jesus. And with God's strength working within us, we can have power for living.

This edition includes dozens of new and never before seen photographs! 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 all those who need to know that God is love and He is still in control. Jamie Buckingham was in his prime as one of the best-known Christian writers in all the world when he got a surprise diagnosis. Inoperable cancer and you only have months to life. This book details the timeline from the point of the doctor's initial diagnosis, to the prayers of his family and church, to the revised diagnosis, through his subsequent operation, and his eventual healing. It is a story of hope. It's a story of a God who still cares. It's a story of an eternal gratitude for a healing Jamie himself claims was undeserved because of his own pride. It's also a story of how Jamie faced his greatest fears. Of leaving his family, should he write his own obituary, how was he to deal with unrest among some of his pastoral staff, one or two of whom seemed to be pushing for his early retirement from the ministry-so they could take over; and often conflicting theological explanations from well-meaning preachers from all over the world. Jamie soon realized it was a progressive revelation by a God who was revealing his intentions to him little by little.The words from God Jamie received most consistently that summer, "You shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord," surely came to pass, even if he was to only live an extra 20 months beyond his initial diagnosis. During those months, following his 1990 summer-time healing, which came in the form of a miraculous operation and recovery at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Jamie indeed declared the works of the Lord, and part of that declaration was in his writing of this book, Summer of Miracles. It was a summer of miracles for Jamie Buckingham-and for all who knew him. It seemed that God was at work in everyone-his family, his church and his friends.Jamie's life and ministry are somewhat of an unexpected contrast. For years he had been an internationally renowned author, columnist and conference speaker and a close friend of just about every Christian leader of whom you have ever heard. Yet there is a simple "down home" side to Jamie and his wife, Jackie, that is inescapable. Something that makes you feel comfortable and accepted.Their lives were interwoven with families in a home group that had been meeting for thirteen years, with neighbors they'd known for twenty-five, and with the members of their church, most of whom had no idea of the notoriety, respect and influence Jamie Buckingham had in the Christian community around the world. To them, he and Jackie were simply neighbors and friends. Then there's the Buckingham compound. Three of the five children had built their homes on the twenty-acre property. There were the Sunday afternoon basketball games with neighbors and family; the thirteen grandchildren who roamed the property's pine-tree forests and fished in the pond out back; and the big house where Jamie and Jackie presided as patriarchs over this American version of Camelot. But how quickly a dream can be shattered.Very few doubt God's ability to heal. The questions are: Will He? When will He? What am I supposed to in the meantime?This is a book about standing on God's Word, struggling with the idea of faith and, most of all, God's power to heal. It's about how to act when your friends, your father or husband is in big trouble; it's about close family and long-term relationships-things so many have lost in this transient society we live in.Don't wait until you need a miracle to read this book. Learn now how to live and appreciate your life before you face the end of it.

A wonderful devotional for those looking for a daily encounter with God -- a face-to-face encounter with the Messiah.The Nazarene invites you to a sacred, personal meeting with Jesus. Richly woven with threads of Scripture, meditation, and vivid imagery, this 50-day devotional will challenge your mind, excite your imagination, and stir your heart. You will walk where Jesus walked, stand with him on the windswept shores of Galilee, and sit with him at home in the Temple. Finally, you will follow him up the fateful road to Golgotha. At all these places, you will be moved by the people Jesus met. You will feel the excitement of the crowds, the astonishment of the disciples, and the offense of the Pharisees. And you will experience the Messiah's immense compassion for the wounded and confused, his tender mercy toward sinners, his healing touch upon the sick, and his authority over demons. And you will find he can change your life, too.This book can be used as a companion to the video devotional series by Jamie Buckingham, "50 Days Before Easter," which can be found at www.JamieBuckinghamMinistries.com

Jamie speaks openly about a serious issue he had with one of his pastors and how it affected the entire church, especially the fellowship of the church. Then he goes on to discuss three key terms often mentioned in the Bible but which have inadequate translations in today's English. As a result, we fail to fully comprehend what the words, grace, love and fellowship truly mean. He explains in detail these three words and begins to place context around them in a New Testament light. He states that these words above all others, need to be reintroduced to the church with their real meanings, and not the common interpretations in light of today's society.

Each chapter in this book lends itself to the spiritual growth of the believer. Are you aware that you will very likely encounter false teachers? This book will help show you how to discern and deal with them. We are to know our position in the kingdom of God, utilizing the authority and dominion He has returned to us through Jesus Christ. We are to be diligent and avoid deceptive teachings and avoid the wiles of Satan as he continually attempts to tempt us, to draw us away from our loving heavenly Father. We all need to better understand our need for inner healing so we can handle the frustrations in life, the disappointments in life, and not let them derail us from growing in spiritual maturity in our relationships with others and with Christ. And finally, we should fully understand and utilize the tools and spiritual gifts God provides us, through the filling of the Holy Spirit, so we can stand in these last days, not in our own power, but in the power of the Holy Spirit.As you read through this book, my prayer is you will hear from the heart of God as He continues to reach out and speak to his beloved Church, His people, His called out ones, as we rapidly approach the return of the King. As I was preparing these sermons and editing them for publication, I was struggling with a title for the book. The old cassette tapes I discovered of my father's messages, were not labeled, except for the individual sermons, which I have maintained as the chapter titles in the book.As I was working on the transcriptions, preparing them for final publication, I was re-reading a book passed over to me by my wife, Michele. The book was by Francis Frangipane titled, The Days of His Presence (Arrow Publications, 1995). In one chapter Frangipane references a scripture from Isaiah in which the prophet Isaiah is proclaiming that the Spirit of God is telling his people what to expect in the last days. Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising (Isaiah 60:1-3 NAS). As I read this verse, I sensed that this is essentially what this book is about-helping prepare the church for the return of Christ.Perhaps Frangipane said it best when he stated, "God is qualifying us to receive His splendor! Do not fear or think of yourself as unworthy-of course you are! We all are. It is for His glory that we are being prepared."Indeed nations shall come to His light and kings to the brightness of His rising. Bruce Buckingham, Risky Living Ministries.

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. With biblical examples like Moses, Joshua, and David, and with graphic testimony of his own experiences, Jamie Buckingham shows the consequence of resisting God's presence in the innermost recesses of our lives . . . and the almost indescribable changes that come when we yield to Him.Here is a book that shows you how your life with Christ can move beyond just being a memory of a salvation experience. If you let Him, God can and will lift you from your present existence and start you on a venture Where Eagles Soar.Jamie Buckingham (1932-1992) was one of the most widely read Christian authors of his time. He served in various editorial capacities with Guideposts, Logos Journal, Charisma and Ministries Today magazines. He authored over 45 books included some for well-known public figures such as Kathryn Kuhlman, Corrie ten Boom, Pat Robertson, and others. Buckingham was a leading figure in the Charismatic Movement of the '70s and '80s. He was senior pastor of the interdenominational Tabernacle Church in Melbourne, FL.

This is the Spanish translation of Jamie Buckingham's popular book, Power for Living. Dios te ama. Y si lo dejas, no solo dirigirá tu camino, sino que te dará poder para vivir. De eso se trata este libro: Poder para vivir. Que Dios te dé poder, no solo para vivir, sino para vivir abundantemente. El profeta Isaías lo dijo mejor: "Los que esperan en el Señor renovarán su fuerza. Se elevarán sobre alas como águilas; correrán y no se cansarán, caminarán y no se desmayarán" (Isaías 40:31). Nuestro problema es que estamos tratando de hacer la vida con nuestras propias fuerzas, y no es suficiente. Necesitamos a Dios. Necesitamos a Su Hijo, Jesús. Y con la fuerza de Dios trabajando dentro de nosotros, podemos tener poder para vivir.

The time: approximately 1,200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The place: the Sinai Peninsula, that barren and remote desert which 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. Go with Jamie Buckingham as he follows the footsteps of Moses through the Sinai Desert and teaches the same lessons God taught those ancient Israelites, lessons still important today.
