From the Back Cover
His sanctuary is the world.
No preacher before him 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 nations to more than 110 million people, has reached hundreds of millions more through radio and television. 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. Unquestionably regarded as one of the leading Christian figures of his generation, Billy Graham has become a friend to presidents and, more importantly, a messenger of hope to the lost.

“Grandma Coffey’s. There they played under long rows of sagging plum, pear, and apple trees. Then Grandma Coffey would sit them down to milk and cookies and tell them about Grandpa Ben Coffey—God rest his soul—who fought at Gettysburg and lost his eye and his leg, then came back to court Lucindy Robinson. ‘Who?’ gasped Billy. ‘Me,’ she laughed. Then she would tell about Grandpa Crook Graham, who fought all through the war—year after year—right up to Appomattox and got nothing but the memory of a slug of lead in his leg.” (source)
“Billy peeked over his folded hands. Who was Daddy praying about?” (source)
