PTL: The Rise and Fall of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Evangelical Empire by John Wigger
4.0
The level of second-hand anxiety I got from reading about the wanton fiscal irresponsibility of Jim Bakker and his cohorts is unreal.
Also, having gotten most of my information about the Bakkers from the 'Eyes of Tammy Faye' documentary and recent docu-drama, it was quite interesting to read a perspective that didn't gloss over her bad behavior or shortcomings the way they did/
My only criticism is that there was quite a bit of fat in here that could have stood to be trimmed. I don't need the life story of every person involved in his scandal, especially the smaller players with limited roles.
