Billy Graham

The Man I Knew

De: Greg Laurie, Marshall Terrill

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

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.

love everythingBilly Graham and Greg Laurie

thank you Greg Laurie and Thanks Billy Graham you both have impacted my life for the better. this was a good listen.

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!

Great book!

Easy to listen to went by to quickly I really enjoyed it.
Pastor Greg thank you for writing it.

Great read!

What a privilege to get to know Billy Graham just a little bit through Greg Laurie’s shared experience.

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.

Walk thru history with one who was part of it

Billy Graham played an integral role in history, not only in the spiritual world but also the secular and political world. This book takes you on a journey through his extraordinary life revealing the impact this "country preacher" made on those he came in contact with either directly or through his crusades.

You will leave this one with a much better understanding of the man Billy Graham was. You will be surprised and amazed and you will be glad you decided to take a trip through history inside this book.

Excellent

Moving, humorous, and inspirational. Great story of a great man. Graham's life from beginning end,
and worth every minute!

Inspiring, and wonderfully written!

The book was wonderfully written in humility, as Billy. In all giving all glory and praise to God.

Excellent story about a man of God

I highly recommend. It’s an encouraging story about a man devoted to Jesus and a love for sharing His message.
