About This Item
Atlantic Monthly Press, 1989. Hard Cover Hardcover. GOOD/MISSING. • Binding: Hard Cover • The Rise and Fall of Jim Bakker and the PTL Ministry • 1989 • Tight square binding. •
Synopsis
The man: the puzzle of Jim Bakker, the enigmatic youngest son of a machinist -- he rose from college dropout to the enthusiastic host of the "700 Club" for Pat Robertson, and finally to president of the ill-fated PTL ministry. The money: Bakker's "Lifetime Partnerships" became a $160-million engine that propelled his ministry into national prominence. Simultaneously, his moral and management failures veered PTL toward financial collapse, setting the stage for indictment and criminal trial. The faithful: Hundreds of thousands of trusting, charismatic, and Pentecostal Christians found in Bakker, PTL, and Heritage USA a hero of their own, a church in their living room, and a loving community of like-minded believers. Bakker's lieutenants: The Pentecostal bishop for whom the ends justified the means; the effeminate one-time piano player who wielded Bakker's proxy; and the succession of idealists who tried to keep Bakker's ministry on a righteous course. The press: The Charlotte Observer's exclusive behind-the-scenes-pursuit of the Jessica Hahn payoff and PTL's efforts to keep its cover-up from unraveling. - Back cover.
