HUNTER JAMES (1932–2018) was a native and resident of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A newspaper journalist covering the South for more than thirty years, he spent much of that time as a correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and as an editorial writer for that paper and other east-coast dailies. He is the author of nine books, including Smile Pretty and Say Jesus: The Last Great Days of PTL (Georgia).
Author James was along for the ride as the tales of greed and sin
began to unfold, and with this book he takes us along, too. . . . A
highly readable, entertaining piece of personal journalism.
*Anniston Star*
Smile Pretty and Say Jesus (that's what PTL audiences were urged to
do) captures the sideshow atmosphere surrounding the final months
of Jim's and Tammy's tenure, and it provides some solid, detailed
information on the various warring fundamentalist sects. There are
other, more straightforward accounts of the PTL; this one is more
fun to read.
*The State (Columbia, SC)*
A well-crafted, well-thought-out piece of literature. Anyone who
picks up this book merely for a look at the PTL Ministry will be
pleasantly surprised; anyone who picks up this book for a look at
life will not be disappointed.
