Through My Father's Eyes
Through My Father's Eyes | Franklin Graham
4 posts | 2 read
Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from the perspective of a son who knew him best. As a beloved evangelist and a respected man of God, Billy Grahams stated purpose in life never wavered: to help people find a personal relationship with God through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his lifes work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father. While most people knew Billy Graham as Americas pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his fathers life and the examples of his fathers love. This vulnerable book is a look at both Billy Graham the evangelist and Billy Graham the father, and the impact he had on a son who walked in his fathers steps while also becoming his own man, leading ministries around the world, all of it based on the foundational lessons his father taught him. My father left behind a testimony to God, says Franklin, a legacy not buried in a grave but still pointing people to a heaven-bound destiny. The Lord will say to my father, and to all who served Him obediently, Well done, good and faithful servant [Matthew 25:21].

This book is what I am reading to my grandmother. She is still recovering from the brain bleed that happened in January. She has recovered a lot, she still has some problems from it. Last night she asked me to read to her. It is the love of books that she instilled into me. She can't see to well either. I am going to do the Little House series next cause that is what we both enjoy so much.

dabbe Your grandmother is very lucky to have you. Wishing her a continued recovery.
