Description
God Speaks His Word Straight Into The Hearts Of Men And Women. The Word Of God Is Alive And Active Today In The Lives Of Millions. With the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as his singular focus, Billy Graham faithfully, passionately, and unapologetically preached God's Word for more than seventy years. At the age of ninety-two, during an exclusive Fox News interview in 2010, Dr. Graham told Greta van Susteren, "I have a tremendous amount of hope for the future because of Jesus Christ." In this stunning collection of quotes by Billy Graham comes a historic anthology covering seven decades of ministry, drawing from both his published and personal works. These pages are filled with hope, truth, and redemption and seek the hearts of a lost people who need God now more than ever. Today we are putting our hopes in materialism, in technological progress, and in freedom from moral absolutes. They have all failed. They have failed because they have been powerless to change the human heart. Join Billy Graham as he seeks to bring God's Word to the heart of daily life. Reconnect and be drawn like never before. "Hearing Billy Graham express hope for the world gives me hope that my life can be worthwhile," comments one twenty-two-year-old. Arranged topically for easy reference, Billy Graham in Quotes provides insight on more than one hundred topics anchored in Scripture. This gifted evangelist takes the focus off of the messenger and shines the Light on the Message of God's Word. Earth's troubles fade in the light of heaven's hope.… (more)

Following are a few examples which shed light on the type of person Billy Graham was:
On the Bible: “The Bible is the only Book in the world that predicts the future. The Bible is more modern than tomorrow morning’s newspaper.”
On Christianity: “We cannot inherit Christianity … God has no grandchildren.”
On the end times: “We see the storm clouds gathering and events taking place that herald the second coming of Jesus Christ.” “Events are moving rapidly toward some sort of climax.”
On Eternity: “Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.”
On Heaven: “My home is in heaven. I’m just passing through this world.”
As I read back over the quotes I highlighted, and select only the half-dozen I find most revealing, I realize that I was most inspired by Billy Graham’s quiet faith in the future. From this, I present one more quote:
“I have read the last page of the bible. It is all going to turn out all right.”
When it comes to voices of influence, Billy Graham being the greatest global evangelist our generation has ever seen and whose ministry throughout the years was marked by Christ-like integrity has evangelical commentary to say found in his quotes it's worth the time to be read and heard.
The simplistic writing style and that the breakdown is well organized by topical category alphabetically makes this a perfect resource. This is a great book to have along as a great read and resource to recommend for any bible reader, teacher or preacher. I find Billy’s son Franklin Graham, one of the editors’ words on the back of the book fitting:
"My father, Billy Graham, is known for speaking out about the one and only thing that matters in this world: the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He remembers the call of God seven decades ago to preach the Word of God to all those who would listen about salvation that comes only through Christ. He took this high calling with seriousness and boldness in obedience to God and once said, 'I will travel anywhere in the world to preach if there are no strings on what I am to say.'
This book I believes captures the Christian thought of Billy Graham and offers its readers his valuable insight, wisdom and commentary by a man who is known as one of the greatest Evangelist of our time. You will find his commentary on the topics just as Biblically sound, Christ centered and relevant as when they were first penned.
