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.

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.

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 ...

Do you want to hear from God, but you have trouble discerning His voice in your life? Do you want to obey the commands of God, but you don’t have the power to do so on a daily basis? Do you want to be able to stand in the Last Days, but you don’t know if you have what it takes? In this booklet, taken directly from one of his sermons, Jamie Buckingham provides answers to these questions and more. Using Hebrews 10 as his text, Jamie addresses several essential principles that determine our capacity to hear God, obey Him, and live according to His perfect plan and purpose.

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.

"God has placed inside each one of us a spiritual dream. It's what God has breathed into us - a little bit of himself. And it's that part that is calling us unto him." So states Jamie Buckingham in this remarkable recounting of his own personal journey with the Holy Spirit, never before in print. From his strict moral upbringing, through his salvation experience, through his "dark pit" days as a disgraced Southern Baptist pastor, through his highly successful writing career, Jamie shares how God broke down his resistance to the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

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 ...
