Billy Graham

Billy Graham Was the Worlds Best-Known EvangelistLoved and Admired by Millions. But Very Few Knew Him Personally. Pastor and bestselling author Greg Laurie was one of those fortunate few, blessed with an insiders view of Billy Grahams world for more than two decades. With the same painstaking research and eye for detail that distinguishes his previous biographies, Steve McQueen: Salvation of an American Icon and Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon, Laurie now turns to the life of his beloved mentor, offering the intimate perspective of a disciple and friend. As a strapping North Carolina farm boy, Graham surrendered his life to Jesus at a camp meeting led by a blustery itinerant preacher, but he never lost the mischievous twinkle in his eye or his fun-loving air. Laurie sheds light on Grahams lesser-known strugglessuch as a broken heart before he met the love of his life and a crisis of faith from which he emerged stronger than ever. From the evangelists private challenges and public successes to his disappointments and joys, Billy Graham: The Man I Knew provides a vivid portrait of one of historys most remarkable Christian lives.
