Summary: Sad
Review: I loved the book but the way PTL was taken from the Bakkers was very sad and very unfair. Tammy is a wonderful lady and a great writer. Too bad she has been made fun of by so many people. I've never known of her hurting anyone.

Review: Tammy Faye Bakker Messner is one of the strongest, most endearing, and faithful women in the world. Her story is truly inspiring. How many other women could endure the hardships that she has and still come out joyfully alive and giving glory to God? Everyone should read this book. Tammy will give you hope for a better tomorrow.

Summary: Inspirational
Review: Tammy Faye Messner is an inspirational lady and her book is a light along the shadowy path of the human condition. Tammy's mind is sharp and agile, and her voice of reason is soft with wisdom yet strong with courage. Every page has something positive to offer, and although the subject matter is mostly serious, Tammy manages to lighten the text with several amusing recollections. I particularly enjoyed pages 88 - 101, where Tammy mischievously recounts the famous 'Jim Bakker Roast' when the couple were at the height of their fame and influence. Following is a brief excerpt.'Jim was excited but I had to say no because the roast was about to start. Jimmy Swaggart opened with a three-minute routine about the doghouse (he'd just been put there by his wife - again!), then Benny 'The Rug' Hinn told an off-colour joke about The Archbishop of Canterbury and a vacuum cleaner. Jim laughed so much he almost made MY mascara run! Joyce Meyer, never one to miss the spotlight, then asked Jerry Falwell to dance.
"Ballroom?" Joyce suggested.
"Honey," Jerry bellowed, "in these tight pants there ain't even room for loose change!"
I'd never heard Jim laugh so much, apart from the time he made a prank call to Oral Roberts pledging $5,000,000 on behalf of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I gotta tell you. These televangelists sure know how to put on a roast.' If you haven't read Tammy's book, do yourself a favour.

Summary: What a story!
Review: What a life! Tammy certainly tells it her way! All of it! From growing up in International Falls, Minnesota to being the queen of the largest Christian television network to being the scorn of millions in and out of the Christian community. And all the steps inbetween. She candidly shares every detail (including some of her sex life!) of her rise and fall from power and her struggle to pick up the pieces of her life. Every struggle, every behind-the-scenes moment, every misconception and every mistake NOT widely known about! Tammy definately had a life worth reading about. She sheds revealing backstage light on some of the biggest names in Christianity today - Paul and Jan Crouch, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc. etc. etc. All with a genuine spirit of forgiveness. Tammy is definately a beautiful soul and a beautiful person who deserves to be heard. In the book she says, "I believe that truth is truth. What happened happened and is now history. I just want history to be told correctly for my children's sake and for the sake of my grandchildren and generations to come." I think that we all should hear the truth from this woman whose ENTIRE life was devoted to openly sharing with people. Whether you agree with her religion or not (for the record I don't but I still enjoyed every word and think she's fabulous) her general love for everybody, including those that hurt and betrayed her in a colossal manner, shines! Don't judge a book by it's cover or a televangelist by her makeup!!!
