Information on Billy Graham from the publisher:

This is a biography of the great American evangelist, Billy Graham, with special emphasis on his ministry that has taken him to every inhabited continent and to nearly every country in the world where he has preached a simple gospel with remarkable effect.

Description of Sam Wellman, author of Billy Graham:

No preacher before him had used the mass media to such advantage. No preacher before or after him has delivered the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to so many. Billy Graham, who has preached in person in more than eighty countries to over 110 million people, and has reached hundreds of millions through television and radio, is truly a phenomenon of the twentieth century. Yet since his first outdoor meeting in 1949 the focus of this extraordinary North Carolina-born evangelist has remained the same: to proclaim the Christian faith to nonbelievers. This simple desire has led Graham's ministry into uncharted territory as he crossed racial and political barriers without fear of criticism. Unquestionably regarded as one of the leading Christian figures of his generation, Billy Graham has remained as sought after in Washington, D.C. as in Warsaw. His personal integrity and humility, and most of all, his simple yet profound delight in God's word continue to influence lives and win souls for Jesus Christ. For ages 12 and up.
