Overview

Celebrating the life and legacy of one of America’s best-known religious figures in words and photographs, this book traces the amazing journey of the lanky farm boy from Charlotte, North Carolina, who grew up to preach to more than 200 million people in stadiums and arenas around the world. Written by a journalist who covered Graham and his ministry for more than a decade, Billy Graham: A Life in Pictures chronicles the preacher’s rise, his friendship with U.S. presidents, his spectacular crusades, and his work in building a religious organization that continues with his son Franklin as its leader. It also offers a glimpse into Graham’s rich family life and how he managed to maintain his integrity while other religious personalities, despite—or perhaps because of—their large followings, were losing theirs. The book provides a fitting tribute to one of the most important religious leaders of the 20th century, a man of unimpeachable character who influenced millions around the globe.

Growing up on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina, Billy Graham's interest in Evangelism began as a teenager, but at the time no one could have guessed the extent to which this man would influence religion across America and around the world. Throughout his life, Graham has preached to more than 210 million people in 185 countries and territories.

 

Ken Garfield's Billy Graham: A Life in Pictures (Triumph Books, November 2013) is a tribute to Billy Graham that takes readers through the history of his life and shows memorable moments with photographs from The Charlotte Observer. Written by author Garfield, who has covered Graham and his ministry for over a decade, this book tells you everything you want to know about Billy Graham's life. Highlights include:

 

  • Details of Graham's relationships with U.S. presidents from Harry Truman to Barack Obama - including his role as religious advisor for some
  • The controversy of integration among conservative Southern Christians, Graham's approval of integration at his 1957 crusade, his invitation to his friend Martin Luther King Jr. to lead a prayer at the crusade and Graham's insistence that all the crusades be open to people of any color
  • Graham's family life and how one of his five children, Franklin, now leads the Billy Graham ministry and carries on his legacy
  • Pictures scattered throughout that depict all aspects of Graham's life, including his family, his ministry and politics

 

Billy Graham: A Life in Pictures celebrates one of the most influential religious figures of our time. This book is a great introduction for those who are curious about Graham's life and a must-have keepsake for close followers of his ministry.
