AlbakiReads Editorial

A personal account of collapse and confession

Jim Bakker’s account centers on the losses surrounding his imprisonment in 1989 and the further upheaval he describes from inside prison, including a crisis in his faith and the end of his marriage. Framed as a confession of mistakes, the book looks back at the unraveling of his public standing and personal life. Its subject is both a religious autobiography and a narrative of reckoning, with the account organized around what Bakker says he got wrong and how he came to acknowledge it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in religious autobiography and accounts of personal confession.
  • Readers seeking a first-person account of imprisonment and the collapse of a public life.

Book overview

The loss of Jim Bakker's empire, his money, his home, and his reputation in the two years leading up to his imprisonment in 1989 was only the beginning. In prison, he was to lose even more - his freedom, his sanity, his dignity, his confidence in his faith, and eventually even his wife. Inmate 07407-058, one-time confidant to presidents, had hit bottom. Jim Bakker was wrong about many things. Exactly what they were and how he came to confess them will surprise and inspire you. This is his story.
