When I was sent a free copy of "Billy Graham in Quotes" by Franklin Graham with Donna Lee Toney to review, I was excited to receive it. Billy Graham has been a big influence in my life since the time I was a child, even though I didn't even realize it at the time. You see, my grandmother was an avid fan of Billy's. Any time he was on television she was sure to be watching. Her life was greatly influenced by his messages and mine in turn was influenced significantly by her. As I grew older she would call any time a crusade was going to be broadcast.
I knew going into this that it wouldn't be one of those books I'd read in a day. And I was right. There is so much to absorb. Some of the quotes I read I could clearly recall him saying. There are a variety of topics, including: abortion, the blood, faith, grace, greed, judgment, pride, and many more. Billy is a man of God who has stood the test of time. His life has been lived in the public eye and he has maintained his integrity and devotion to God. You don't have to guess whether his words are from God's Word or not. He didn't compromise the message in order to draw crowds when he was preaching. He spoke a simple message. And that is conveyed throughout this book. It is definitely a book I will refer to time and time again. So would I recommend it? Yes, I would.
