Billy Graham?

Well, what do you expect coming out of the mouth of a christian evangelist? And anyway, it's the truth! The gospel truth!!!

I read this many moons ago, yet recommend this because in my critical eyes, he has remained the sort of christian that I understood as a child that Christ wanted me to become. A sinner, yes, like everyone else, like Billy Graham?, yes, but so in tune with his Savior that one cannot see his flaws.

An article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution recently was about the Graham's wishes for their burial site in North Carolina. There was a picture of Ruth Bell Graham, bed-ridden with her family surrounding her. I had known she had been ill for some time, but was taken aback by the sight. He and Ruth have weathered many storms, met many people worldwide, have led interesting lives. Reading his autobiography will help you relive his long journey.

Unless Billy did a fantastic job in hiding all of the difficult and trying times of his life (as I suspect in the case of his troubled relationship with his son Franklin), WHAT A LIFE this man had!!! Who would not want to have what he had: travels; meetings with the rich, the famous, the wise; success; financial stability; a loving wife; great kids; and most of all, the honor and privilege to lead millions to Christ. Can you imagine the party they'll throw in heaven when he gets there? However, the book was very mediocre in my view. Very seldom the author opened his heart and expressed his true feelings...Lots of anecdotes, details, insignificant (to the reader) stuff; it was not a total waste of time, because you always get the feeling that this man loves his Lord and truly wants to serve Him. Not much to say against that...I just wish he could have made deeper remarks about people and events in general.
