Billy Graham, God's Ambassador: A Celebration of His Life and Ministry – A Photographic Biography of the Preacher, Advocate, and Family Man

by Russ Busby (Photographer), Billy Graham

For over sixty years, Billy Graham has traveled the world preaching the Gospel face-to-face to more than one hundred million people. Across the globe in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australia, and Africa, his crusades have broken stadium attendance records. And with the advent of radio, television, and satellite broadcasts, Graham has reached more than two billion people in his lifetime.

Billy Graham: God's Ambassador includes hundreds of photos from the archives of Graham's photographer, Russ Busby, along with quotes, comments, and personal reflections from the past half century, most of them in the words of Graham himself and those who have been the closest to him. Unlike any other book ever published on his life and ministry, this insightful edition captures Graham the advocate, preaching for human rights and world peace; Graham the counselor, with presidents and world leaders; Graham the inspirer, a positive influence in times of conflict and discord; and Graham the husband and father, at home with his family.

This unique, once-in-a-lifetime volume beautifully captures the public and private moments of one of the world's most prominent figures, and certainly the most influential Christian of the twentieth century.

[Robley Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful book! Beautiful life devoted to the gospel. I pray that if I were only able to receive a fraction of this man's passion for the gospel, the gates of Hell would be shaken by those who would come to know him.

Great pictures. The book provides some great highlights of different aspects of Billy Graham's ministry through the photographer's lens. In between the pictures, little blurbs are including that explain what was happening at the time. Through these blurbs, the book summarizes the main events of Graham's whole life, not a comprehensive biography by any means, but a brief look at the life of a man who had a massive influence on 20th century evangelicalism. This would be a good coffee table book.
