In keeping with the spirit of Max Lucado's Grace for the Moment , Charles Swindoll's Wisdom for the Way , and John MacArthur's Truth for Today comes the latest edition into the Daily Devotional series. In Hope for Each Day , Billy Graham offers spiritual comfort to guide us through our daily lives. Rev. Graham is a national treasure and has counseled numerous political leaders and provided comfort in times of public crisis.
Billy Graham was an American evangelical Christian evangelist and an ordained Southern Baptist minister. Graham is best known for his evangelistic missions or “Crusades.” He believed God knew no borders or nationalities. Throughout his career, Graham preached to millions around the world. He met and prayed with every U. S. president from Dwight Eisenhower to Barack Obama.
Graham authored 34 books, including his memoir, Just As I Am. In 1983, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan. In 1996, Graham and his wife, Ruth, received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can bestow on a private citizen.
Graham married Wheaton College classmate Ruth Bell Graham in 1943. They had five children ( Ruth Graham, Gigi Graham Tchividjian, Anne Graham Lotz, Nelson, & Franklin Graham) and made their home in the mountains of North Carolina. They were married for 64 years before Ruth’s death in 2007. Graham died from natural causes on February 21, 2018, at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, at the age of 99.
I am on my second copy of this daily devotional by Billy Graham. I read the first one until it fell apart, then rejoiced when I found another copy at Half Price Books. Billy Graham's wisdom and humility , coupled with the living Word of God, teaches, encourages, and inspires me whenever I read it.
Second time reading through this daily devotional. Billy Graham was a very wise and spiritual master of words and it shines through in this inspirational book. Short (one page each) daily devotions for each day of the year. Some days in this past year needed more than one devotional so I finished it early this time around.
This is my second year reading Billy Graham's daily devotionals, which was inspirational. I love when he brings his personal experience to the passage. Next year I will devote to a Bible chapter a day.
