Based on the culmination of a lifetime of experience in ministry, Billy Graham guides the reader through a study guide series that explores the joys, triumphs, and conflicts that you will encounter along the journey of your spiritual life.
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.
A part of the Journey Study Series and should be read in conjunction with the book "The Journey", this is a powerful tool for the new believer and a good reminder for us old-timers. There looks like there are eight different books in the Journey Study Series. I was looking for something about Prayer in Hoopla, and this came up. The most helpful part is you get exposed to many Bible verses over the six chapters and there are multiple questions asked to check your understanding. Besides prayer there are also chapters on our emotions, when things go bad and when others disappoint you.
A very good companion book, along with others in the series for the THE JOURNEY STUDY SERIES. Well worth it to study the series and the book itself. Billy Graham had so much to say and inspired millions of people throughout the world to accept the Lord Jesus as their savior. Pray, in and of itself, is a foundational building block for all Christians to live their lives and build upon this foundation.
This was a very interesting book and I would recommend it to any one who wants an interesting read. I look forward to reading more of this authors work.
