Nearing Home

Life, Faith, and Finishing Well

De: Billy Graham

Narrado por: Robert Lake

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact—Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elizabeth, and Anna, to name a few. They were ordinary men and women who discovered that the latter years of life can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling. “For them, growing older wasn’t something to be denied or dreaded;” says Billy Graham, “it was to be embraced as part of God’s plan for their lives.” Billy Graham’s life and ministry have been dedicated to the here and now but always with a happy-ever-after in view. In this moving narrative he reflects on his life and contemplates what God still has in store for him. He also shares how he has learned to deal with grief, uncertainty, and loss by focusing on the promises found in the Bible.

“Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God’s point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day.” —Billy Graham

I love this old man

Would you listen to Nearing Home again? Why?

I would. I've listened twice already

What was one of the most memorable moments of Nearing Home?

Hard to say, but I liked how Billy Graham says that he had spent his life learning
how to die well, but no one had taught how to live as an old man

So many nuggets of encouragement and humorous wisdom

Have you listened to any of Robert Lake’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My biggest reaction to this book was great relief
If a fella like Billy Graham can struggle with aging but keep his new weaknesses and frustrations in perspective, I can do it too.
He calls for older Christians to be examples of how to live well,, spiritually and emotionally right to the end
Our society needs the example

Any additional comments?

Glad to have an Elder to respect and trust

Packed full of goodness

This book has so much knowledge and wisdom packed into it. It is so much more than the title suggests. It has answers and examples to many of our questions as both believers and non-believers. I highly recommend it.

Encouragement for all ages!

This book will speak to everyone no matter your age, but it is especially encouraging for those in or entering the “fourth quarter” of life.

I Love this book so much!

I have listened to Billy Graham over and over again and never get tired of it! A powerful must read! Suzlily

Practical, Spiritual lessons learned and shared.

Anything Billy Graham writes is based on Biblical principles and personal experience. Therefore, I would take it in and learn from his teachings. Billy is an honest writer and speaker.

What he writes about in this book, most people just don't want to talk about. But, as usual, Billy Graham meets issues head on. He has a gentle but strong way of presenting to the reader or listener.

I would read anything the man writes.

Wonderful

I enjoyed this book it was very inspiring . I learned from Mr.Graham every time I read or listen to him.

Made me more aware of treating my family with real Christlike and mercy for their shortcomings.

It was so wonderful and helped me more than I could have imagined. The reader was perfect for the book.
. I loved Billy Graham and I have been blessed. I am 86 years old.

awesome reading. A must for all of us.

we're all nearing home in way or another. I hope you find Christ before it's too late.
