Living With a Legend - The Life of Kenny Hinson

At long last, for all the Kenny Hinson fans who have wanted to know more about their hero, here's a book written by Larry Hinson, as only a brother who had traveled and lived on the road with Kenny could write it.

In this new book you will find interesting historical facts about Kenny and the original Hinsons. Some facts covered will include the Hinsons as they were involved in Ministry from 1967 through 1988. How they moved from Salinas , CA in 1971 to Nashville, TN to enlarge their careers. The Hinsons joined the Singing Jubilee in 1973 as permanent members. You will learn that the Hinsons were very big in Country Gospel, winning a Fan Award for that category.

An interesting fact is that the Hinsons never sang as a group in their father's church. They all sang specials by themselves. It was not until they were invited to sing at a revival that they decided to try to sing as a group, and the rest of their success is history. The first song they sang as guests on the Singing Jubilee was "The Lighthouse". These are just a few of the historical facts and gems that you will unearth in this book.

Larry Hinson has been asked so many times to write about what it was like to live "behind the scenes" in the life of Kenny Hinson. At the time of Kenny's passing, July 27, 1995, Larry had a yearning to share all that he had been asked to do, so in 1996 he began this book.

Kenny Hinson on StageLarry describes how Kenny never lost faith in a prophecy that was given over the Hinsons in 1967. He also accounts many of the trials, heartaches, and betrayals that affected the life of Kenny.

Larry also includes some of the interesting facts of when Kenny first went into the solo and preaching ministry after the Hinsons had retired as a group. He talks of Kenny's first revival where eight people showed up.

This book comes complete with 31 never before published pictures of Kenny and the Hinsons. Larry is honest and forthright concerning some of the personal problems that Kenny encounter upon Larry's leaving the group. You will learn a little of what it was like for Kenny to pastor at the Lighthouse Assembly of God church in Houston, TX .

All in all this is a book that any Hinson fan will have to get. If you've wanted to know what is like to live with a legend, then you will want this book. If you are just a southern gospel history buff, you will want this book.

So glad to see that the book has finally been completed. This is a wonderful chance for people to get an inside look at the man who influenced so many of the people who today carry on the wonderful message of Christ in song. It is also the first of many books I expect to see from a wonderful man, a friend, and a great Man of God, Larry Hinson. Tamra and I wish you the best! Thanks for all you have imparted into our lives through your ministry.

James Hales's avatar One discrepency I already found (and I haven't even read it) was the Hinsons did spend a few years living in Madisonville, KY as mentoree's of the Goodmans. It was after that they moved to Nashville.

This book will be a MUST HAVE for any Hinson fan. Their music changed my direction in life and "turned me on" to gospel music. Thanks Larry, for sharing your memories.

Deon Unthank's avatar James, don't get too knit picky here. I wrote this article from an interview and I may have gotten an item or two wrong.
Don't make me start looking at your writing too closely... LOL You know what they say about paybacks... LOL

James Hales's avatar I am a nitpicker when it comes to historical stuff. I get so aggravated when groups don't even know their own history. Take for instance the Goodmans...on Vestal's site it says she released her first solo LP in 1975...nope...it was 1971.

I find erranous information all the time. It's a quirk of mine...just ask Larry Ferguson! LOL!
