Nearing Home: Life, Faith And Finishing Well

Billy Graham

Paperback

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life, says Billy Graham, known by many as God's Ambassador. I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.

In Nearing Home this man of faith now in his nineties explores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice, says the author. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.

Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God's point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day.

Today Billy Graham and his ministry are known around the globe. He has preached in remote African villages and in the heart of New York City, and those to whom he has ministered have ranged from heads of state to the simple living bushmen of Australia and the wandering tribes of Africa and the Middle East.

Born William Franklin Graham, Jr., in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1918, he entered the ministry in 1943 and soon began conducting evangelistic crusades. In 1950, he founded The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which has sponsored crusades and produced radio and television programs as well as films.

Dr. Graham has written 24 books, many of which have become top sellers. His autobiography, Just As I Am, published in 1997, achieved a "triple crown," appearing simultaneously on the three top best-seller lists in one week.
