SON OF A PREACHER MAN My Search for Grace in the Shadows

Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s son Jay relates a tale of family scandal and ruin in youthful tones of alternating sorrow and surging hope. He speaks with a clear, mellow voice about televangelism and religion as big business. Bakker brings to life his childhood--he was raised by famous parents but cared for by bodyguards--in tones that hold no censure for what can never be regained. With understanding and forgiveness, he speaks of such emotional betrayal that the listener cries for, and with, him, then rejoices at his revelations of personal triumph. This riveting story won’t stay in the car when the commute is over. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
