Overview
Witness Billy Graham’s journey from humble beginnings on a North Carolina farm to becoming one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century.
At the age of sixteen, Billy Graham committed his life to Christ during a Christian revival meeting – and it wasn’t long before it became clear that God had plans for his life.
With the help of his wife, Ruth, and many other friends and colleagues Billy set out to preach to the world. Through the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, he preached to over 80 million people in more than 185 countries. Millions more were reached through his television, video, film, and radio ministries.
He faced up to all of Christianity’s major twentieth–century opponents: Communism, Apartheid, segregation and terrorism. From paying the bail money to get Martin Luther King Jr. out of jail to addressing the memorial service in Washington after the collapse of the World Trade Centre, Billy Graham was there for people with practical help and a timeless message of hope.
This narrative–driven introductory biography from the Hall of Faith series offers a compelling glimpse into the heart and mind of a man who touched the lives of millions around the globe. Whether you’re a longtime admirer or new to Graham’s remarkable story, Catherine Mackenzie’s book is sure to inspire and uplift.
