"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.

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. But just as those same Israelites followed God's leading to the Promised Land, you too can find the promised new life in the Spirit. Jamie Buckingham made such a journey - not only figuratively but literally. During a time of intense personal struggle, he traveled to the Sinai. There he found restoration and, in the solitude of a wilderness night, he learned ancient Bible truths that would alter his life forever.

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.

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. Like the Israelites, Jamie explains, we have promises from God.

This is a book of hope, encouragement, and the true-to-life experiences of a man who was told he was going to die, yet he continued to seek God and hold out hope that the Lord of the universe was with him and would be with him all the way to the end, whenever that might be. This book is for anyone who needs to know that God is love and He is still in control.

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. 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.

Nicky Cruz's heart had turned to stone when he was only three. His mother nicknamed him the son of Satan, and he was severely abused, both physically and mentally. After moving from Puerto Rico to New York, Nicky became the leader of a notorious street gang the Mau Maus. He turned into a violent street criminal before he was eighteen. David Wilkerson, a skinny preacher from Pennsylvania, reached out to him with relentless love. He said, Nicky, Jesus loves you, and this simple message opened the door to a new life for Nicky Cruz.

This is the Spanish translation of Jamie Buckingham's popular book, Power for Living. Dios te ama. Y si lo dejas, no solo dirigirá tu camino, sino que te dará poder para vivir. De eso se trata este libro: Poder para vivir. Que Dios te dé poder, no solo para vivir, sino para vivir abundantemente. El profeta Isaías lo dijo mejor: "Los que esperan en el Señor renovarán su fuerza. Se elevarán sobre alas como águilas; correrán y no se cansarán, caminarán y no se desmayarán" (Isaías 40:31).
