 | Just As I Am by Billy Graham, Jonathan Reese
If the size of his audience is any indication, then Billy Graham is the world's most successful evangelist. From the city-wide revivals that won him his first national attention (and prompted publisher William Randolph Hearst to issue a famous, two-word telegram to his media empire to Puff Graham ), to the stadium-sized, televised crusades in the U.S. and throughout the world, Graham's career has spanned five decades and ten presidential administrations. In this disarmingly personal memoir, the evangelist reflects upon the development of his ministry, from his ordinary beginnings in western North Carolina to his prominence as one of the world's most recognizable religious leaders. While there is nothing in the book that will surprise or disconcert any of Graham's loyal followers, Graham writes as he speaks--in the utterly personal voice of individual conviction and integrity that has been so convincing to so many.
