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 Stage Larry 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.

Brother Larry...

Awesome book, brother! As soon as I got it, I could not put it down. Read it cover to cover. I laughed and I cried. I also bought a copy for the second biggest Kenny fan I know, my friend Michael. He loves it, too. God bless you Larry as you keep the Hinson legacy alive for a new generation!

I have always loved the Hinsons..My family lives in Greenville, Ms. and we went to the concerts when they came to Jackson, Ms. at the city auditorium..They came so often we felt like they were our family..About 5 carloads would go and when we left the auditorium, we felt like we had been to church..Back then we did not have cell phones but we had cb radios..It was about 120 miles from Greenville and all the way home we talked on those radios about what a blessing we all had received and could not wait until the next one....One night we were walking behind Bro. Larry Hinson and another young guy..It blessed us so much because he was witnessing to him about the Holy- Ghost..We just about had church right then and there!!! It truly was like being in church..We also know Bro. and Sis. Gardner from Columbus, Ms..I know Kenny sang at Sis. Gardner's funeral..A friend of our,Louise Hall still goes to their church..I also know Kenny and Marita were very close! I cannot tell you how jealous all of us girls were!! Anyway, I am so glad this book has been written!

It is with great anticipation that I await the arrival of “Life With A Legend.” Dr. Hinson, I have seen you struggle on many occasions as you relived the events of this book. I know this was a true “labor of love” and know that many will be blessed by it. I join you in your prays that this will touch the lives of millions…Congratulations on the completion of a mile marker in your life, my friend. Love to you and Jana…

Larry the book is simply great!! I too cried in many places, and laughed in many, also. It could not have been easy, brother to relive the hard times, especially the times of Kennys Illness, but you did it with great pride. I applaud you.

ps. Larry is my real brother

I believe there is a certain thing some singers and men/women of God have that sets them apart from all the rest---something called "the annointing" from God. The Hinsons had and still have that, and have not lost it or grown weary. A person can still feel it just from memories of those one and only Hinson concerts! That these folks would allow themselves to be so used by God that millions of people would be affected is just a sign that they have laid up treasures in Heaven. I thank God for you! My life has been richer by far because of your gospel influence!
I feel a great sadness still over the loss of Kenny, but whenever I do it seems I can hear his voice singing..."Save all your sad mail, and all your sad farewells,...Cause I'm heading for the Land of the Free...Brother, you ain't seen the last of me!"
Keep up the good fight, Larry & Jana Hinson and all the rest of you Hinson gang! May God reward you over and over! Thank you for heeding the call of God and so richly blessing my life!

For James Hales: I realize that this is one and one-half years late, but Mr. Hales, you need to read a book before you critique it. Also, please don't criticize Larry until you learn to spell accurately. You spelled the word "erroneous" like this, "erranous". That is incorrect. Shame!!!!
Larry did an outstanding job on a book that, I am sure, tore at his heart strings every time he wrote a sentence. He and Kenny were so close. So, please don't criticize him.

Nobody could sing The Lighthouse like Kenny. It saddens me that he died at such a young age. We should treat each other as though everyday is going to be our last day on earth. God is in charge of our lives. Not ourselves.

James, it is now October 1st 2007. A little late for your article that Larry Hinson wroteconcerning his family. I judy got a computer a short time ago and came across your article. The Hinson family is still one of my favorites, I miss Kenny and his rendition of The Lighthouse" is still my favorite song.
