Billy Graham
Billy Graham (1918–2018), world-renowned preacher, evangelist, and author, delivered the Gospel message to more people face-to-face than anyone in history and ministered on every continent of the world in almost 200 countries and territories. His ministry extended far beyond stadiums and arenas, utilizing radio, television, film, print media, wireless communications, and thirty-three books, all that still carry the Good News of God's redemptive love for mankind. Engraved on a simple fieldstone in the Memorial Prayer Garden where he is buried at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, these words exemplify how the man and the minister wished to be remembered: "Preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."

TO GET THE MOST FROM THIS STUDY GUIDE, READ pages 267–276 of The Journey.
Parenting is the most important responsibility most of us will ever face, and none of us does it perfectly.

The Journey
THINK ABOUT IT
Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.
—ANTHONY BRANDT¹
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
—PSALM 127:3
The family, as we have traditionally defined it, is under attack. Many well-meaning adults are so focused on their jobs and other interests that their families get virtually no attention. Children are left to raise themselves. Parents expect the school system to discipline their children while they attend to their own personal needs and desires.
Other parents take seriously their parental responsibilities. They juggle complex schedules and demands, all in an attempt to live up to God’s expectations. They know that their family’s future is dependent upon their parental effectiveness. They know parenting is hard, but they know they have no other choice.

Children are a gift from God; they are not our personal property. Eventually, our children marry and have children of their own. Children become parents who raise children. Therefore, how you interact with your children today will affect them and future generations.
