Jamie Buckingham's remarkable book Miracle Power takes us on an exciting adventure through the history and culture that surrounded some of Jesus' most notable miracles. If you believe in your head but doubt in your heart that God still works miracles, you will find a great way to take a closer that this look at the miracles of Jesus—then and now.

Each chapter in this book lends itself to the spiritual growth of the believer. We are to be aware of the very likely possibility that we will encounter false teachers and how to discern and deal with them. 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. As you listen to 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.

In this book taken from a series of five sermons, Jamie Buckingham describes the process a Christian must go through to move forward in the Holy Spirit and lay hold of all the promises of God. “Get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give you, and I will give you every place where you set your foot,” God told the children of Israel as they approached the Promised Land.

This book is for anyone who needs to know that God is love and He is still in control.

He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

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.

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.
