First Line: Would you like to know what Billy Graham thinks about his life, his work & his family?
I love Billy Graham. Love his teaching, love his passion, love him. I think his presence is powerful for God. I have had the privilege of seeing him in person twice. I have read most of his books, including his autobiography. I think he's a treasure of our country, as well as the world.
So I was excited when I found this book on a clearance shelf.
This book is made up of different questions that has been asked to Mr. Graham over the years from different media sources. The chapters are broken up into topics - Faith, death, Jesus, Presidents, family ...
It is such a quick read ... I literally got through over 200 pages in one afternoon. And such a good 'quote' book - so much in simple sentences that I want to write down to remember. A few of his simple answers even brought tears to my eyes...
The only downside to me on this book (& its not really a downside - just something that bothered me) - was some of the questions were repeated in different chapters. I was just wanting more & more & didnt want to waste time with the things I've already read. But if you were just going to a chapter for the topic, I can see why that would be helpful.
If you love Billy Graham (& who doesnt) then this book is a must!
My Rating: 4 skeins
