This book has been sitting around my shelves for sixteen years, recommended to me shortly after I became a Christian...and yet I've avoided reading it for no particular reason I can think of.
That being said, it's a pretty good read, not glossing over nor glorifying Franklin's wild, wild days

before he decided to give up rebellion to start following Jesus. The author shows his own flawed nature, while struggling as the son of a famous preacher. I never felt the book was preachy, but more of a journal of this young man's journey into maturity. Show Less

The life of Franklin Graham must be of interest to anyone who has supported the ministry of his father, as Franklin is heir to his work and ministry. This is an honest and (mostly) open account of his life, sins, and conversion to Christ. One sees the tenderness he feels for his father.
