James Robison - Living Amazed: How Divine Encounters Can Change Your Life

Within these pages, James Robison unpacks his journey as an invitation to each reader to see what God can do with any willing life. To me, Living Amazed is memoir-meets-minister. James simply cannot help helping people. Its the way God remade him in Christ. He sees no benefit in telling his story if theres nothing in it to help ours. Thats what I love most about him. This I can testify as an eyewitness: James Robison has lived amazed. We can too.

Jamess life has had such a profound influence on Gateway Church, as well as on my life and who I am today. As youll read in Living Amazed , many of the people hes influenced didnt even know he was a preacher, yet he was able to lead them to Christ. God is an amazing God and desires His amazing kids to live an amazing life, and James clearly shows us how to do that. I believe this book has the potential to change your life.

James Robison is the most lucid and forceful speaker I have ever known. He is also one of the most balanced and loving leaders I have ever met in the church over the past thirty years. His testimony is a truth-tale of Gods sovereign work in bringing a boy out of a ruinous pastand then, by Gods power, raising up a man who would bring hope, health, healing, and the workings of Gods hand through him into play wherever he goes. His is a story of sovereign grace, achieving sovereign works through a lifestyle submitted to the sovereign rule of Almighty God.

Jack Hayford , chancellor of The Kings University

While in seminary, I studied every evangelist from the New Testament to the present day for my dissertation. One remarkable achievement I discovered was that James Robison had preached to more people face-to-face by the age of thirty than any other evangelist in all of history! It is my prayer that through the pages of this book, you get a better look at the man I have come to love and respect as one of the greatest Christian leaders of all time.

I met James Robison in 1966 when we were both college students. I was amazed at his confidence in God, especially considering the circumstances of his childhood. To anyone paying attention, his life obviously reflects the amazing grace of our God who works things according to the counsel of His own will.
