MY THOUGHTS

Often referred to as "America's Pastor," Billy Graham is one-of-a-kind. Even those who differ with his theology respect him for his integrity and his life above reproach. I was fascinated by the stories shared in this book. Some are intensely personal, and it is obvious that the writer had a close relationship with Mr. Graham. Others are more generalized. All are steeped in admiration and respect for this man. And the common theme throughout all of them-besides declaring that the single-minded purpose of Mr. Graham's life, both public and private, has been to declare the gospel of Christ-has been Mr. Graham's complete humility and astonishment that anyone would see him as set apart. I particularly loved the stories shared by his children. Although the book is about Billy Graham, it's really about how God, and how He is glorified by a life wholly committed to Him. I highly recommend this book!
