Revised and updated with forward written by Franklin Graham, Storm Warning by Billy Graham speaks to the growing anxiety among many Christians and unbelievers alike by contrasting Biblical accounts of ‘Storms’ to our current culture.

One thing I can truly say about the Graham family is this – each member whether it be Ruth, Anne, Franklin, or Billy – you do not leave an encounter with any of them without hearing the salvation message.

I cannot think of another leader and his family that is so focused on the Gospel than the Graham family, though I certainly wish it were otherwise. We could use a few more strong Christians like the Grahams.

Storm Warning centers on the book of Revelation with relevant, current examples. Many find the book of Revelation to be confusing. Graham certainly dispels that idea. He writes in a straightforward, honest and genuine manner that anyone could understand.

What I found most interesting were the chapters focusing on the Four Horsemen. My husband and I have had many discussions on this topic and reading Grahams words on the subject warmed my heart in some ways, while filling me with sadness for those who refuse the free gift of Salvation on the other.

All in all this book is a must for any Church library. I recommend it highly especially for a new believer with desires to hear a clear message from the book of Revelation for the times we live in.

I often find myself laughing at those that consider Billy Graham simplistic. Somehow I know Billy Graham would consider that accusation a compliment.

The Gospel, the Good News to men, is absolutely, beautifully simple – so simple you have to morph its message to make it appear anything but simple.

Get this one for your home library. Read about what the Scripture says about the days we live in and be thankful to the God of all comfort.

Today headlines scream to us about various destructive actions of nature (earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, etc.), the banging for angry drums between countries, worry over the stock market and monetary systems around the world, and so many other negative things that impact our lives that it is hard to find something positive in our day. "Storm Warning" helps explain what is going on in relation to what the Bible has to say. Rev. Graham points out that first, man needs to accept salvation through Christ to provide security for the future, then he can understand what is happening. Rev. Graham took the time to update his original book to be reflective of today's concerns, and then also explains about the "four horsemen of the Apocalypse."

I enjoyed reading this book. It is heavy, intense, and thought provoking, but also full of explanation. I was drawn into Rev. Graham's descriptions of his crusades in Germany, etc. It was fascinating to read about those open doors and the many people who accepted Christ as their Savior. While I have studied and heard many messages about the four horsemen, I also found myself drawn into his descriptions of the end times. This book is for anyone who wants to understand more about the dilemmas occurring around them and the Biblical solutions available to all. It would be great for book discussion groups.

Billy Graham does a great job on talking about the literal storms we face and the biblical storms that we face. He enlightens this new generation on what it was like growing up during his youth, the similarities, and the differences between then and now. With that said, he goes through parts of the Bible, connecting the dots on how the events we're going through in today's world, was prophesied in the gospels thousands of years ago. Billy Graham has always been a strong and inspiring evangelist that has the ability to rattle our hearts in a good way. This book definitely gets the "gears" turning in my head.

We are to expect the coming of Christ at any time, but we are to work as if He were not to come for a thousand years. ~ Billy Graham, Storm Warning, p. 192

The book examines the Book of Revelation. Billy Graham shares his insight into the interpretation of this great book. He examines the 4 horsemen that are coming to the earth. The judgments of God upon the earth. Billy Graham explains that God allows these judgments, so that we will realize our need of God and repent and turn to Him.

If we have Christ in our lives, we have no need to fear the coming judgments.

Billy Graham is an icon and his life has deeply moved me. While on a YFC mission trip to China in the 50's Bob Pierce was so moved he wanted to create a sponsorship program. Billy Graham sold his beloved car to give him the seed money to start what is now today World Vision. His faith was so real and his connection to Christ so authentic, when Billy speaks its good to listen.

This story is older but has been updated (from 1992 to 2010). His lessons on scripture and the Word of God shouldn't be ignored. He uses the book of Revelations as the filter of things happening in our country and world. I had forgotten so many things in Revelations, it's not a book I look at often.

The book isn't easy to listen too, I often wanted to turn it off because it doesn't tell me what I want to hear. However, with great wisdom and discernment Billy makes a case for things most people leave alone.

I have always found the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible the most difficult one to visualize and relate to. This book helped me to see and understand the meanings of John's visions at the island of Patmos, and what they mean in our context in these days. It brings me to a deeper understanding, from biblical perspective, on what is going on around in the world and what eternal life means in this context.

This book is a study about the last book of the New Testament, the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ by the apostle John. It is my first book by Billy Graham that I have read. I enjoyed his writing style and I learned a great deal through him about the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, which was a huge focus in this book. What I liked most about Rev. Graham's writing is that he constantly came back to the point of being saved through Jesus Christ. He constantly came back to the utmost importance of our salvation and how it had everything to do with Jesus Christ and how we need Him to survive what is coming in the future. I highly recommend this book.

The last page of this book claims my reading it was in vain if I didn't feel motivated to make Jesus a bigger part of my life. I disagree. I think it was entirely worth reading in order to understand and raise awareness of the sort of evil that is perpetuated by seemingly mild-mannered religious sorts.

Because that's how evangelists like Billy Graham get you. They pretend to be gentle, kind folk. They do 'good deeds'. Then they pounce with the evangelism. (My mother received this book from a neighbour after he came onto her property without asking permission and 'tidied up' the yard. He had previously had a go at her for not maintaining her garden to his standards when she was recently widowed and experiencing extreme emotional distress. Classy fellow.)

Really, all they're concerned about is your 'immortal soul'. I don't know if there's life after death or not, but what I do know is that mine is none of anyone else's business, thank you very much. One story Graham relates in this book is that of a pregnant woman in a troubled country who dies from complications before she can reach a doctor. The evangelist doctor mourns, of all things, that she had no opportunity to know Jesus before her death.

Graham talks about how some Christian groups make the lifestyle seem too simple, and emphasises that he wants his readers to understand it isn't simple. But there's something adorably simple about any worldview that assumes you either have all the answers or that there is someone else who does. I would have laughed all the way through the increasingly deranged explanation of Revelation if it weren't so terrifying to think I share a planet with people who seriously believe this and who think I should, too.

But there was far more in this book to disturb than that. From the descriptions of charity efforts in disaster-torn regions that are clearly opportunities to prey on vulnerable people with the Gospel message (sure, I'd accept your personal Saviour for a bowl of rice), to loving descriptions of calamities, to things that just... didn't make sense. At one point, Graham claimed it was more likely that the population could be reduced through war and disease than advances in birth control technology. He genuinely appears to believe relatively effective birth control doesn't exist and not that distribution might be an issue, which I would concede. He also claims that relaxed sexual morals lead to death. Without explaining this logic. I suppose all roads lead to death in the end...

What irritates me most about Billy Graham and the kind of Christians who could relate to his book is that they don't even have the balls to be 'out and proud' about how they really feel. Instead, the book is laced with innuendo buried in supposed caring. A line about nobody grieving more than God at many Jews being gas chambered by Nazis, placed in just such a location as to imply that their disbelief in Christianity was responsible/relevant to God's grieving. A quote from someone else about rampant homosexuality - Graham lets someone else take credit for his own prejudices. Using the unhappy story of a family who chose to stay and defend their house in the face of a storm as a metaphor. (We aren't all so lucky that choosing to run is a safe or easy decision!)

Other hilarious things I remember: a quote puzzling over how people believe instructions for the working of their VCR but not the Bible, 'instructions for life'. (I can take apart my VCR but can I take apart the universe?) Avowal of the literal truth of the Bible simultaneously with citing statistics - SCIENCE, Billy! - to 'prove' a point. Denouncement of yoga, meditation and holistic medicine, because one is connecting with a 'higher self', a form of idolatry. I had to play Pokémon while reading so as to struggle through the book, and the game has its own creation myths so I guess I have committed the sin of idolatry while reading. Sometimes I had to stop and beat the book vigorously against a hard object to relieve my feelings over some particularly disgusting passage. I suppose that's closest to blasphemy.

I think this book, and all copies of it, should be destroyed. It disgusts me to think that such hateful and delusional nonsense can be given the legitimacy it is, and I can think of some good Christians I have known in my time who would be disgusted to be associated with this hysterical tripe. Billy Graham talks a lot about the great deceiver, the antichrist, who will inject just enough truth into lies to empower them. He doesn't seem to realise that this is exactly what he is doing with his personal belief in Christ: citing terrifying disasters and awful truths of our society in order to push what is ultimately only his BELIEF.

My personal belief is that Billy Graham's belief is bullshit, but I don't know any more than he does. What I do know is, if his God is real, I'd be happier to go to hell with all the good people I love and believe in.

[Daenel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I grew up in the church, in fact, my sisters and I joke that our first stop after the hospital was not home but our family church. Truth is that we didn't realize that our childhood was unusual until we moved to Italy and found out that everyone does not attend church 5 or 6 days out of the week. Seriously, it wasn't until then that I found out that children don't have birthday parties in the church basement. That's where we always had ours.

As a child, two of the tenets of our belief system that always interested me were Bible prophecy and the return of Christ, partially out of fear and partially out of the sheer wonderment of it all. Prophecy is scattered throughout the Bible, but the most quoted scriptures come from the books of Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. Basically, those books foretell various social, financial and natural disasters that will occur prior to the return of Christ for His church (the Rapture). Reading those books can be difficult to understand on your own but through Billy Graham's gentle guidance in Storm Warning, the relationship between Bible prophecy and newspaper headlines are made clear. It must be noted here that this is an update to the 1992 edition by the same name.

Storms have always had a significant meaning in the lives of Christians. In the Bible, storms are used to represent the troubling times that believers must endure to receive their blessings. But more than that, Billy Graham explains that these storm warnings are God's way of telling people that we must return to the gospel before it's too late. As an example of warnings going unheeded, Billy Graham points to the people who taunted God and nature during Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina. Repeatedly, they were warned to move inland before the storms arrived but many people said they'd ride it out, some even chose to "celebrate" the storms at bars only to lose their lives because they chose not to be obedient.

I think the overriding message of the book is not to fear what is to come but to know and understand that God loved us so much that He warns us to get out of harm's way and it is up to us to obey and live (eternally through Him) or disobey and die (suffer the consequences for disobedience).

Storm Warning by Billy Graham, is newly revised and updated from the original edition which was written in 1992 and published in June 1995. It also includes a new foreword by Billy Graham’s son, Franklin Graham.

Storm Warning focuses on the anxiety and fear that has been sweeping our nation for many years and how the headlines (past and present) line up with Biblical prophecies. Graham talks about the state of our nation and world, the current recession, terrorist activities, natural disasters and how these and other “signs of the times” should be causing Christians to wake up and be on high alert. As I read this book, I could sense the urgency in Graham’s writing and his concern with spreading the Gospel before the return of Christ.

As you would expect from Billy Graham, the salvation message is all through this book. He repeatedly stresses that peace and eternal security are NOT available, apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Although this book isn’t heavy on eschatology (the study of end times) nor does it debate the various beliefs on the rapture and tribulation, Graham does explain the significance of the four horsemen mention in the book of Revelation, as well as the signs of the end times, the Apocalypse and more.

Graham makes it very clear that although various political leaders are calling for “peace” – there will not be peace in the world. In fact, Graham warns his readers that according to scripture things are most likely going to get worse before the return of Christ. In spite of such dismal news – Graham stresses that our hope comes from the message of the Gospel, the God of mercy with whom we must have a relationship.

If you know someone who is searching and open to the message of the Gospel, this book could be a very good resource.

I recently received a copy of Storm Warning, a revised edition of Billy Graham’s book first published in 1992. In the last decade there has been headline after headline about earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, terrorist attacks, war, poverty, and pandemic diseases. Evangelist Billy Graham seeks to quell the fears of the masses using scripture to answer the tough questions of “why?” that so many people ask in the midst of these anxious times. He specifically highlights the four horsemen of Revelation 6 and how this relates to the events we see headlining newspapers each day.

I was initially excited about reading some of the famed evangelist’s work. I had no doubt that the focus of the book would be scripture and using that as the basis for discussion. I was not disappointed. Each page is filled with scriptural references to the hard times we are facing today as well as encouragement of the hope that Christ has to offer to the world. While I think that some of the introductions about today’s storms was a little over the top, his points were well taken. The world in which we live is a mess and there are many crazy circumstances, many beyond our control, which can be scary and intimidating. I think Billy Graham does a great job of putting this into perspective and pointing readers to the truth of what the Bible has to say about it all.

I just finished reading Strom Warning by Billy Graham. I received this book from Book sneeze to review.
After reading this book, I found it very biblical, spiritual and definitely an eye opener. Billy Graham explains the four horsemen from the book Revaluations. This book being related by the Christian life gives you insights and overviews about the world we live in today, with all the natural disasters, economic crisis, terrorism and conflicts. This book is not only for people who believe in God. I found it to be an eye opener for everybody, no matter what your culture, beliefs, values, and if you’re a believer or a non believer to things that are happening to our world.
This book has been revised so that it relates to this day in age. Each chapter was very interesting and never a dull moment. You will be very into the book and not wanting to even stop reading. I like how Billy graham used his personal life situations to explain what upcoming and current events. Adding situations that happened and were predicted and having to think what is coming up next is quiet scary at times.
I would recommend this book to anybody. This book will give you so much information of how close we are to the end. The signs of what is going to happen are believable in my point of view. Billy Graham will also let you know that we can make it through this life with God on our side.
This is my review on the Storm Warning by Billy Graham. Greatest book read! Thank you for taking your time in reading what I have to say.

When I was 12 years old I went with my Sunday School class to Greenville , SC to see Billy Graham preach. I can still feel the goose bumps I got as he preached. It was a memorable service for me. I have been to church camps near his home and have read most of his and his wife Ruth's books. He speaks and writes straight and in a way everyone can understand. His book Storm Warning helped me understand the book of Revelations. Each time I had read it before I would be so confused. He takes the scriptures, explains and also applies to today's world. He explains John's visions and writings so easily that I finally understood the signs of the end of times. He writes about the changes he has seen around the world during his lifetime. He writes clearly about the 4 horsemen and the seals which helped me greatly. Rev. Graham updated his book to include the world happenings of today. He writes about the signs of the times, the apocalypse, and standing before God. A book that has lots of food for thought. It starts out a little slow but once you get into it you won't want to put it down. You will find yourself saying I understand now the more you read.

The revised edition of Storm Warning that Thomas Nelson published this year reminds me of a panoramic mural by one of the impressionist masters. Portrayed in vivid colors, the book of Revelations provides the background. The middle ground displays in bold strokes the connectivity of our present global conditions to the prophecy in Revelations. It reveals our responsibility as God's people to prepare ourselves, our families, and our communities for the difficult times ahead. Front and center in the mural, stands the pivotal event of all time: the cross of Calvary. (This should come as no surprise to any reader since Billy Graham committed his whole life to sharing this message of repentance, forgiveness, and redemption.)

Most masters would paint a storm warning in dark, forbidding colors. Not so, Mr. Graham. With delicate strokes and rich detail, he gives encouragement and instruction so that the book is a call to action, as much as it is an explanation. To add a layer of depth and enrichment to the mural, Mr. Graham added personal experiences and bits of Godly wisdom tucked into tiny niches.

Like an impressionist's mural, Storm Warning's beauty cannot be fully appreciated with a single reading. Pick it up again and again to appreciate every facet.

Storm Warning
By Billy Graham
Published by Thomas Nelson

One of the most famed Christian evangelist’s of all time, Billy Graham, explores the book of Revelation and its correlation to events past and present. Graham examines John’s visions of Armageddon and provides commentary on the warnings, signs and ultimate hope this book reveals to mankind.

The pages of Storm Warning are overflowing with life experience and rich with scripture. There is no denying the wisdom in Grahams words or the wealth of knowledge, understanding or practical application behind them.

While I found the book a slow and sometimes distracted read, I would have loved to take each paragraph (and/or story) and read them as individual thoughts to contemplate, rather than reading them through in a book. In that context, it would almost feel like sitting on the back porch with one of the world’s greatest minds, listening to some of the most precious stories ever told.

Storm Warning, by Billy Graham w/forward by Franklin Graham, 1st Edition-Hardback, May 11, 2010, 304 Pages, ISBN-13: 978-0849948138, $19.99

Whether viewed on television, read in contemporary headlines or heard over the radio, we live in unusual times. From national and global political unrest, to famines, wars and rumors of wars, to killer earth quakes, tsunamis and floods of biblical proportions. Such events prompt many to ask, what is going on?

Billy Graham finds answers in Scripture in Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation. He shares his thoughts in this edition, unlike previous editions, with a focus on "one small but very significant part of the Revelation of Jesus Christ"—the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Two important themes in the book include "God brings storms to warn of impending doom for disobedience," and "God is our shelter in the time of storms...." (Isaiah 25: 1, 4)

Graham writes, "...the storm clouds are darker than they have ever been." Reading this well-known and beloved Evangelist at 91-years of age warning about little understood biblical events that relate to the end times, Apocalypse and Armageddon made me take notice.

I received this book as a first read from booksneeze. I am one to read a book in a couple of days. I love nothing more than curling into my favorite seat and devouring a book. That being said, this was not one to "devour". This is one that i had to do as a study. I really enjoyed it, as it made me really think about things. At first i struggled because I would like to finish it, but found that I enjoyed it more as I pondered and "studied" the insight the Billy Graham has for us. It was a wake up call to those who are snoozing. a definite must read. I will be sharing this one in my circle.

Wheter you are interested in Bible prophecy or just an avid reader of Billy Graham's work, I believe you will find what you are looking for in Storm Warnings. This book was first written in 1992 and revised and updated in lieu of today world happenings and republished in 2010.
Whenever any disaster would befall our world my mother would always reply, "it's just another sign of the times". Often I understood this but there was so much I did not. Billy Graham has taken todays world events and placed them in perspective. With wars, rumors of wars, natural disasters, financial disasters and more this book is a must read. Billy Graham doesn't disappoint. He helps us see the connections between what is gpoing on now in the world and what the scriptures have to say. He helps us see what we can expect all the while pointing the way to Jesus as Savior of the World. I will be passing this book on with the stipulation that the next person and the next, etc. passes it on. This is a must read book.

I picked this book up at a thrift shop along with Approaching Hoofbeats. I read both books and didn't care for them. Granted this is essentially a reprint and an update from Approaching hoofbeats. The theme behind the two books is good and needs to be told. However I think it should have just been an updated version of approaching hoofbeats. The way this appears to be marketed is just to make more money. Furthermore it would have been nice and gone back and covered some of the events in the last 10 years and how we could learn from the past. I felt there was a whole lot of warnings in Approaching Hoofbeats but then Storm Warning doesn't talk about how they have affected the last ten years. Since it was a reprint of essentially the same book it would have been nice to somehow identify the information that was covered in the previous book. My advice read the most recent one you are not missing much.

An absolutely fascinating book! This book was originally written by Billy Graham in 1992 and then revised in 2010 after the 9/22 tragedy. What is remarkable is that all the things discussed in this book are problems our world faces today, only a little worse. Billy Graham writes about Revelations, the last book in the bible, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and what each one is responsible for and how Satan rules our world today. Scripture from the Bible is used to back up what he discusses. The breakdown of our society is due to so many factors, the worst being the breakdown of morals, families and the Church. which all continue to bring us closer to the destruction of the world as we know it.
Now, more than ever, it is so important to know the Lord and to have faith! Love Him with all your heart, soul and mind and never let go! That is the most important message that this book brings!

Very disturbing but not because of the end times content...this IS very disturbing, but rather because of his condemnation of those who are deceived by the evil one. To him THEY are the sinners deserving of judgement!! No mention of judgement towards those who deceived them such as wall street bankers, politicians who fail Jesus' commands to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, as well as heads of corporations that rob their workers of their fair wages so that CEOs can reap billions. I'm sure the SCOTUS of the US will be included in God's justice for declaring corporations as persons even if Billy Graham glossed over it or left it out completely!!!! I have lost all respect for Billy Graham in the reading of this book and I now question what Christ he has been preaching all these years!!!!

Best book I have read so far about revelations and how it applies to our lives today and the future. Billy and Frank have such a way of brining life and the scriptures into perspective to beginner Christians and long time Christians. When I started out reading this book I was reading it and thinking I need to highlight this and pretty soon I started to read it over again and making highlights.

It is a definite book that will remain in my library for future reading again. The two men make great books and I am so pleased to add this to my collection. I started listening to the Billy Graham crusades back in the 1970's and felt saved but never knew what to do after. Now that it is 2017 and 47 years later I have finally figured out what to do next. Thanks for the books Billy Graham, Frank Graham and all you other preachers and teachers.

American Christians leading lives of relative luxury have taken their eyes off the prize. Why focus on the glory of eternity with Christ when life on earth is comfortable enough? It’s safe to say that believers in Cuba, Iran, Tibet, and other nations hostile to Christianity don’t need a book like this. Their sufferings are severe and daily, their only hope the promise of eternity with God. On the other hand, Americans do need this book. We need to remember that while we enjoy the blessings of comfort today, it is dangerous to forget to prepare for the coming of Christ tomorrow–or the persecution which will precede it.

Storm Warning is a look at the problems we have from a biblical perspective. Emphasis is on the four horsemen. The first is counterfeit religion. The second is war and peace. The third is famine and pestilence and the fourth is the trauma of death.

Chapter 12 talks about famine in the world and shows the real human consequences. One surprise was the mention of Michael Ignatieff who wrote an article "The Four Horsemen are Here to Stay". He later became the leader of the Liberal Party in Canada. Here is a quote from Billy Graham's book:

"the very threat of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse is not just to warn or judge, but to awaken. They come not merely to move us emotionally, but to motivate us to do something"

My first book by Billy Graham! I had no idea that Rev. Billy Graham was such a great writer along with speaker. This book is a total representation of where America is at spiritually and where we are heading if things don’t change for the better. It is time for America to place their hope solely in Jesus with no crutches or idols!

Billy Graham has written a sound warning to us aligning with the prophecy found in the book of Revelation. As much as the world has changed in his life time, and how we continue to change in pursuit of self interest and moral decay, he provides scriptural accounts to affirm his belief that we could now be on the edge of the Second Coming. His writing for this book is centered around the four horsemen mentioned in the sixth chapter of Revelation:

1. Rider on the White Horse (promise peace; but deceives) - Rev 6:2

2. Rider on the Red Horse (war) - Rev. 6:4

3. Rider on the Black Horse (famine; plague) - Rev 6:5-6

4. Rider on the Pale Horse (death) - Rev. 6:8

This is a revised copy 2010 from the earlier book 1992, with some updates. I love reading the author books, it has always been plain, simple and direct, for easy reading and understanding. Storm Warning carries with it the elaborate description on the fours horsemen in the book of Revelation. Although the author has rewritten this book from his earlier book “Approaching Hoofbeats” but this has a different approach to relating the events as chronicle in the book of Revelation. It’s carries appropriate and practical application to our everyday lives and importantly to prepares us for the coming Storms of life. This is good read and strongly recommended for those who have not read.

Wow!! This was a convicting audiobook. Gave me understanding to details in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Not with fancy vocabulary, etc. Just plain english. Thank you Billy Graham. Miss your ministry.

I loved it, and highly, highly recommend it. My church recently did a sermon series on Revelation, and this book was mentioned one week. I loved how down to earth it was- I could practically hear Billy Graham talking to me in his North Carolina drawl. I didn't feel preached to at all. I also learned a lot! Billy Graham makes Revelation relevant to modern times, which makes it much more understandable. It's not overly long, and I was able to read it and follow with it even while reading it in fits and starts while nursing a baby in the middle of the night! I recommend you check it out.
