By: Hanspeter Nuesch

She was born in 1920 on the east coast of China, the daughter of an American missionary doctor in the midst of civil war.

He was born the son of a dairy farmer in 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina, where milking cows was a daily chore.

Together they would live a life of influence neither could have imagined on their own.

Through her constant love, support, prayers, and personal ministry, Ruth helped shape Billy’s tireless work for the Kingdom of God.

Truly inspiring and practical

This book is well written and full of inspiring and practical insight into the lives of two people who lived their lives beyond reproach, as faithful followers of Christ. There are numerous passages throughout the book I took notes on to help me be more faithful in my walk as a Christian as well. It is the most practical biography I’ve ever read. Highly recommended and well worth the read or listen!

Encouragement for daily life in this biography

This behind the scenes look at two godly leaders gave me much to consider. Challenges abound yet we have an opportunity to see how these servants faced them with God, grounded in His Word.

Excellent Biography!

This is MUST READ for married couples, especially in any kind of ministry! They are a great example of how to do life with truth and realistic expectations!!!

Nostalgic

A great read By 1 of the best pastors that have ever lived. Very good.

NOT a true biography

This is basically a 11 hour sermon with the Graham's life as examples. I really didn't learn hardly any more about them than I already knew. Example: the two sons "turned away from the Lord and rebelled." When? How? Why and how did they come back? No real biographical information.
IF you want a sermon complete with at least 50 scripture readings that fine but if you want a true biography this isn't the one.
