Pamela's Prayer
This film is the story of a prayerful father, a listening daughter, and the sovereignty of God. It is faith realized...and purity lifted high.
Pamela Buckling was born in 1969. Her mother died the day she was born. Her father taught her to remain pure until her marriage, which seemed hard and unfair when all her friends were dating...until she got married.
