Billy Graham

America's Pastor (Heroes of History)

By: Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Narrated by: Tim Gregory

Billy boarded the train to Minneapolis. He had come to Los Angeles months before as a small-time preacher. Now he was leaving as one of the most recognized Christians in the country. It was not what Billy had sought; he'd just been open for God to use. Billy wondered if this would be the peak of his fame or if something bigger was about to happen.

The oldest son of dairy farmers from Charlotte, North Carolina, young Billy Graham (1918-) attended evangelical revival meetings that inspired him for the rest of his life. As an ordained minister, he rose to prominence and would subsequently preach the Christian message to over 200 million people in 185 countries. Graham championed civil rights, befriended US politicians and presidents, and traveled the world to places no one else dared to go. His life and ministry have shaped the spiritual life of America and offer hope for the future—inspiring new generations of leaders willing to serve with courage, integrity, and vision.

Amazing work of God

The fingerprints of God were on Billy at a very early age. It is so wonderful to follow his entire story very much of an encouragement and a challenge. It was to listen to what God did through Billy. And how he focused always on Jesus I know that’s why I God honored his life the way he did.

Billy Graham

I Love the whole book. I like how it was written and narrated. The story made me sad, tearful, joyful and Happy. I Loved Billy, his journey, and his Staff’s Faith and Perseverance. It inspired me. Serving God fully makes life worth living.

EXCELLENT

The life of Billy Graham was beautifully written, interweaving his life with history. The narrator performance was very moving. I would recommend this book to any and all.
