This book details the remarkable life of Billy Graham-a life described not as a legend or a spiritual giant, but in the way Franklin Graham has always seen it: through his father's eyes. Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from A Note from Your Librarian the perspective of a son who knew him best. In Through My Father's Eyes, Franklin Graham delves into the lessons his father taught him through the years. Special features include: 24 pages of family photos some never before seen. Strong scriptural teaching in every chapter with practical wisdom. Never-before-shared family stories rich with history. Find this book on the library table. Enjoy! Your Librarian, Rachel Krabill Quote: When you read or hear that Billy Graham is dead, don t believe a word of it! I shall be more alive then, than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of GOD. Billy Graham ***Check out the Library - LOTS of NEW Books on the table to pick up and check out!!!!!!!
