Through My Father's Eyes

By: Franklin Graham, Donna Lee Toney

Narrated by: Matt Baugher

USA Today Bestseller List. Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from the perspective of a son who knew him best.

As a beloved evangelist and a respected man of God, Billy Graham’s stated purpose in life never wavered: to help people find a personal relationship with God through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his life’s work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father.

While most people knew Billy Graham as America’s pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his father’s life and the examples of his father’s love. This vulnerable book is a look at both Billy Graham the evangelist and Billy Graham the father, and the impact he had on a son who walked in his father’s steps while also becoming his own man, leading ministries around the world, all of it based on the foundational lessons his father taught him.

“My father left behind a testimony to God,” says Franklin, “a legacy not buried in a grave but still pointing people to a heaven-bound destiny. The Lord will say to my father, and to all who served Him obediently, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ [Matthew 25:21].”

Great book!

Beautiful stories told from the heart of a son that the father had formed well.

Amazing man

What a powerful book of the life of Billy Graham written by his son Franklin. I grew up listening to him always felt good listening to his sermons. The day of his funeral I was with my mom who was getting ready to join Jesus. She couldn't talk but we were able to listen to the music. Billy Graham made a difference in our family growing up. He was an excellent evangelist that you could understand and love listening too. He made the Bible understanding to even the simple people always showed the love of others and the Love of Jesus Christ.

Wonderful story of Jesus

Wonderful story of a Godly man who loved our Savior and went all over the world telling others about Jesus. He always preached a salvation message about how Jesus saves and loves us. I would recommend this book to everyone in the whole world.
