Billy Graham in Quotes
By Franklin Graham with Donna Lee Toney
I heard Billy Graham speak one time. I was about fourteen. I don’t remember a word he said. (we were in a stadium and it echoed badly, that’s all I can recall!)
I always thought that Billy Graham told the truth about salvation but as for his stand on anything else… it must have been toeing the line because everyone, on all sides and in all faiths, tolerated him.
That was a pretty harsh assessment and completely wrong.
The reason for his good standing with so many must simply be the grace of God in his life because he simply spoke truth.
As I read through his quotes on a plethora of subjects (abortion, the Bible, creation, greed, race, society, success, war, etc…) I was amazed at how directly he confronted the lies that have perpetrated our world.
To give you a little taste:
The issue [of] abortion is not whether you have a
right to terminate the life of a child…
The real issue is whether or not you will insist on running your own life
according to your own standards,
or whether you will instead let God run your life.
As for the book itself, there is no doubt that it would make a lovely addition to any library. The soft cover makes it easy to handle, the sections are clearly marked with an easy-to-use index.
As a writer and Sunday School teacher, I will greatly appreciate the use of this book in years to come!
