Jimmy Lee Swaggart was an American Pentecostal televangelist, pastor, media mogul, author and gospel music artist. Swaggart was ordained as a pastor by the Assemblies of God. He went on to become one of the most well-known televangelists in America. During the 1980s, his crusades were a major part of his ministry—drawing large crowds and receiving significant media attention. Swaggart founded Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, which owns and operates the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN). He also founded the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College. Swaggart was the senior pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Swaggart was known for scandals involving prostitutes and revolutionary groups accused of war crimes in southern Africa. One prostitution scandal gave rise to a televised February 21, 1988, speech by Swaggart known as his "I have sinned" speech. After Swaggart was defrocked by the Assemblies of God due to sexual immorality, he moved on to become a non-denominational minister. Swaggart wrote about 50 Christian books offered through his ministry. He sold over 15 million records worldwide as a gospel artist and he also received one Grammy Awards nomination.
This is a solidly constructed book. Beautiful to look at: glossy maps, I personally appreciate Women Of Distinction section in the beginning, 2 satin bookmarks. The pages are a bit thin, but then that just goes with the territory. The print is a decent size gold leaf on the pages. It really is a glorious book.
Very nice study bible, the only thing I didn't like about this Bible is that Jimmy Swaggert's commentary is all in red letters. I am used to the words Jesus spoke being red, so his commentary throughout the entire bible being in red is off-putting.
