Destiny: Life and Times of a Self-Made Apostle by Peter Lineham

Destiny: The Life and Times of a Self-Made Apostle is a biographical and historical analysis that details the rise of New Zealand's controversial Destiny Church and its charismatic leader, Brian Tamaki.Written by religious historian Peter Lineham, the book looks past superficial media sensationalism to provide a balanced, independent investigation into how a small, provincial ministry transformed into a powerful national movement.
