No one has preached the gospel to more people than evangelist
Billy Graham. But behind this exceptional man is an equally
exceptional woman who made his global ministry possible. Through
her love, support, prayers, and personal ministry, Ruth helped
shape the ten core values that have been foundational to the
Grahams' ministry:
· partnership
· authenticity
· humility
· intimacy
· focus
· integrity
· faith
· global responsibility
· empowerment
· grace
In light of these core values, personal friend of the Grahams and
director for Campus Crusade for Christ International in Switzerland
Hanspeter Nüesch describes both the life and ministry of Billy and
Ruth. This deeply personal book illuminates the legacy the Grahams
leave to couples doing ministry today and into the future, sharing
stories and anecdotes from their life and times. Includes a
foreword from Gigi Graham and more than one hundred photographs
that capture the life of one of the most influential figures of the
last century.
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.
