93 and still on the job. Bless his heart. He is one of those figures in my childhood memories. When I think of him, I can't help but think of the many Billy Graham Crusades that aired through the years.

I have always loved Billy Graham.........he has always been one of my "heroes," as well as one of my favorite authors!
I do have this very book and it's one of 3 or 4 that I'm reading at the moment..........one of his very best yet!
