Publisher's summary

Billy Graham Was the World’s Best-Known Evangelist - Loved and Admired by Millions. But Very Few Knew Him Personally.

Pastor and bestselling author Greg Laurie was one of those fortunate few, blessed with an insider’s view of Billy Graham’s world for more than two decades.

With the same painstaking research and eye for detail that distinguishes his previous biographies, Steve McQueen: Salvation of an American Icon and Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon, Laurie now turns to the life of his beloved mentor, offering the intimate perspective of a disciple and friend.

As a strapping North Carolina farm boy, Graham surrendered his life to Jesus at a camp meeting led by a blustery itinerant preacher, but he never lost the mischievous twinkle in his eye or his fun-loving air.

Laurie sheds light on Graham’s lesser-known struggles - such as a broken heart before he met the love of his life and a crisis of faith from which he emerged stronger than ever. From the evangelist’s private challenges and public successes to his disappointments and joys, Billy Graham: The Man I Knew provides a vivid portrait of one of history’s most remarkable Christian lives.

Very well done

The lay out, the information,and the performance made this a book that I couldn't put down. I came away from this with a very humble heart and a deeper love to serve with our King Jesus. I only knew of Billy Graham by name, now I felt like I unerstand hI'm more, and how he walked a exlempentry life that shows us today how to walk. Thank you Greg Laurie for writing a book we so much need for today.

Informative, inspirational and well worth the time.

Made me think of how God will use a man yielding to Him and believing and holding to the truth.
And how important it is to pray that The Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into the harvest.
Praise God for the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection has provided eternal hope for all will put there trust in his finished work. An inspiring witness of what God can do!

I Was Spellbound

My father was on the crusade committee when Billy Graham came to Lexington Kentucky in 1971. I have been at a crusade. I have listened to hundreds of his sermons. This book was amazing. The author is himself a famous evangelist. At first I resisted Laurie's insertion of himself into the book, but then I recalled the full title of the book ("Billy Graham:
the Man I Knew") and then Laurie's personal anecdotes rang true and were enjoyed.

Anyone who was touched by the ministry of Billy Graham should read (listen to) this book!

Good history of Billy Graham

Laurie did a good job of chronicling the life of America's foremost evangelist.

My only real issue with the author was that he seemed to tout his own accomplishments along the way.
