Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover:

Reading God's Ambassador is like browsing through Billy Graham's personal scrapbook. It is a collection of powerful pictures depicting Billy's life and ministry accented with newspaper clippings and quotes from Billy and Ruth and their family, friends, and admirers. This pictorial history of an astonishing and fervently faithful man is accompanied by his story in words-from his birth in rural North Carolina, to his decision to commit his life to Christ at age seventeen, to the beginning of his unprecedented ministry that has touched millions of people on every continent, to his private family life and his relationships with each president from Harry Truman to George W. Bush-the reader is left with the feeling that they now know the Reverend Billy Graham. The photos are from the official archive of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and most were shot by Graham's long-time chief photographer Russ Busby. This is an updated and more managebly sized edition of a popular Time-Life coffee-table book that has gone out of print.
