Through My Father’s Eyes - Franklin Graham

This look at Billy Graham is a combination biography and ministry summary, tracing both life and ministry in effective detail. Few of us are old enough to remember the start of Billy Graham’s ministry in the 1940s, the rise and peak of it through the decades that followed, and the subsiding of it until his death earlier this year. The overview of the the ministry alone is worth the time it takes ot read this book, as it is not likely something that will be seen again. In addition, the author’s reflections on both his parents, both their upbringings and their parenting, are personal and interesting. The reader comes away with a full picture of Billy and Ruth Graham as well as of Franklin himself. If you are curious about Billy Graham as an evangelist, father or person, you will enjoy this book. If you are curious about the ongoing ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, you will like it, too. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
