Book of the Day: From the works of Billy Graham

Now approaching his 97th birthday, Dr Billy Graham is a unique American institution. He preached to some 2.2 billion people over his career; he claims some 3.2 million conversions to Christianity. He has made Gallup’s most admired people list for 55 years, 49 of them in a row. He is the only evangelist with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His shelves bulge with book he has written and honors he has received.

As his son, Franklin, moves Graham’s evangelistic legacy in new directions, it’s worth remembering the father and his role in American live for seven decades. Henry Bemis Book is pleased to offer an autographed copy of one of his mid-20th century bestsellers:
