About this listen
Tragic and triumphant, The Chief of Sinners gives listeners a firsthand view of the Spirit’s work in several characters’ lives as full gospel beliefs are contrasted against the dogma of the more traditional.
Spanning three generations, the epic tale offers a realistic look at salvation, forgiveness, obedience, and faith and the consequences of accepting or rejecting God's way.

Dorrie, fleeing problems of her own and curious about Isabelle’s past, agrees, not knowing it will be a journey that changes both their lives.

Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. After her family moves to Mattingly, she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town takes notice. Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on—there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man.

How many times does GOD forgive
The last book in the Buckmeyer story. Our God is truly a loving and merciful God as shown in this story of forgiveness. I'd of given up on one of the characters many sins ago, but this book shows just how much a loving God we serve. No matter the sins committed in this book, God shows He forgives and forgets, helping his own to minister to other's needs. Enjoy the final book in this family walk down God's pathways!!

Chief of Sinners
Buddy lived in the flesh while traveling as an evangelist. The choices he made followed him throughout his life but when he openly repented to his wife, he gained the strength to change those wrong choices and live with the consequences of those choices!

loads of sinners
I thought Buddy was the chief sinner, but Sandra had him beat by a mile as she continued to sin against Harry time after time!! Sandra just never
learned to follow God. She still tried to tempt him at the end!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.
