    About this ebook

    “Our polarized, divided world dearly misses the spirit of grace that Billy Graham brought to the world . . . A biography that introduces him anew” (Philip Yancey, bestselling author of What’s So Amazing About Grace?).
     
    Billy Graham has preached the gospel message in person to more people than anyone in history, and millions more have heard him through television, radio, and film. His faithful witness is testimony to his great love of God and passion to serve Him. This easy-to-read biography tells Billy Graham’s story, including his humble beginnings as a southern farm boy, his calling to the ministry, the start of the crusades, his service to America’s leaders, and his later years preaching around the globe. As you read these details of a life dedicated to the cause of Christ, you will be encouraged. Also, these stories will inspire anyone who desires to give their life in service to God. Here’s a fresh look at a contemporary man of God and giant of the faith.
     
    “Well written and succinct, Billy Graham is an honest look at the man and his calling, his struggles to stay humble in the limelight, the difficulty of separation from his family, and his constant calling on God for the next step.” —Deborah Bedford, New York Times–bestselling author of His Other Wife
     
    “If you want to cultivate a passion for souls, get to know Mr. Graham in the pages of this book. I promise you’ll be blessed!” —Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center
