Yesterday the world lost a man who symbolized faith to so many.
My mom was saved at a Billy Graham crusade in the 60s. The trajectory of my life was changed by that decision and the later commitment my father made to faith.
Billy Graham was a man who could interact with Presidents and Kings, but he simplified the Gospel to its essence. So many have been exposed to the simple, clear message of faith thanks to this man and his faithfulness. I can only imagine the reception he received in heaven as he laid his crowns before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
I can imagine the tears that trickled down his face as he heard the words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Aren’t those words we all long to hear?
Today in honor of his life, I want to giveaway two copies of my WWII collection Ohio Brides. The reason is because the middle book in that trilogy is my first book where the heroine comes to faith. The book I’m writing now is the second. Most of my novels contain characters who are learning and deepening their faith. But A Promise Born was different. I didn’t want to write it that way, but it was very clear that Evelyn was not a Christian. The journey to faith was a precious thing to write.
Maybe you know someone who loves to read, but doesn’t know Christ. Maybe this book can be one seed planted in their journey. If so, I would be privileged to send it your way. Just use the form below.

His focus on the cross was a great example to all.
So true, Judy.
I remember watching him on TV. and going to one of his meetings in the 1970’s. It was always interesting to listen to him talk .
He was an amazing person indeed. My generation is probably more familiar with his son Franklin Graham. I love to volunteer for Operation Christmas Child in early December. Samaritan’s Purse does some wonderful things. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
I agree! Much more familiar with Franklin Graham, but his work is also a testament to his father.
As a young child, I watched hus crusades on TV and I’ve rwad many, if not all, of his books. One of my favorite daily devotionals is his!
