In his prime in 1996, Billy Graham reached 2.5 billion… people that is. The world population was about 5.8 billion then.
Yet! the world sucks more now than it did then.
You may ask if it is difficult to write a bad review about a book that everyone else gives a five star. No, it is not.
If indeed we are born with evil hearts that only God can resolve, why doesn’t She do it? or why did She create offsprings with deplorable hearts? Oh, I know, we’re all supposed to prostrate ourselves to eternally worship Her because She created us to worship Her. It is not unlike raising farm animals so that we can eat them.
Democracy seems to not exist in this dimension, only robotically doing what we are told.. and loving it.
Secular humanism was blasted for doing good because it is good rather than glorifying God by doing good. Bad, ungodly people. Bad.
Then, there was his hanging out with the powerful rich evil capitalists and politicians whose machinations may have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. They were good- the politicians and capitalists, I mean. Not the civilians.
His kind made sure religion got into politics and many crazed bills resulted. (He would have been thrilled about the Supreme Court.)
The whole world is coming to an end soon malarky, is deleterious to good government. There is no reason to be concerned about, the environment, for example, if Jesus is just a wink away.
Education was scary. Why did they take prayer out of school and put in sex educations? (At least sex ed has been taken out of school and replaced by cell phones.) Now, we are paying to have crazed religious disciples tell their goofiness to captive students. I have not felt so lucky since my ancestors fled Germany because of religious bigots.
Sometimes, the solution is a bigger part of the problem than the problem.

This book was a very quick read despite being 200 over pages. Unlike conventional books, this book is organized into topics and extracts were taken from articles, speeches and interview throughout Billy Graham's life. It quickly gave you a glimpse into the scale of his ministry's impact as most of these sources were secular in nature. If you are looking to get a quick introduction and to gain some bite size snippets of Billy Graham's life, this book is adequate. However, it does lack the depth and insight of study into Billy Graham's life. Nonetheless, this is still a quick read and a light piece to go along with.

Loved reading the Rev. Billy Graham's answers to questions from years ago and seeing how his discernment then has played out today. Great book!
