Book Description

October 23, 2007

For over sixty years, Billy Graham has traveled the world preaching the Gospel face-to-face to more than one hundred million people. Across the globe in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australia, and Africa, his crusades have broken stadium attendance records. And with the advent of radio, television, and satellite broadcasts, Graham has reached more than two billion people in his lifetime.

Billy Graham: God's Ambassador includes hundreds of photos from the archives of Graham's photographer, Russ Busby, along with quotes, comments, and personal reflections from the past half century, most of them in the words of Graham himself and those who have been the closest to him. Unlike any other book ever published on his life and ministry, this insightful edition captures Graham the advocate, preaching for human rights and world peace; Graham the counselor, with presidents and world leaders; Graham the inspirer, a positive influence in times of conflict and discord; and Graham the husband and father, at home with his family.

This unique, once-in-a-lifetime volume beautifully captures the public and private moments of one of the world's most prominent figures, and certainly the most influential Christian of the twentieth century.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Reading God’s Ambassador is like browsing through Billy Graham’s personal scrapbook. It is a collection of powerful pictures depicting Billy’s life and ministry accented with newspaper clippings and quotes from Billy and Ruth and their family, friends, and admirers. This pictorial history of an astonishing and fervently faithful man is accompanied by his story in words-from his birth in rural North Carolina, to his decision to commit his life to Christ at age seventeen, to the beginning of his unprecedented ministry that has touched millions of people on every continent, to his private family life and his relationships with each president from Harry Truman to George W. Bush-the reader is left with the feeling that they now know the Reverend Billy Graham.

The photos are from the official archive of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and most were shot by Graham’s long-time chief photographer Russ Busby.

This is an updated and more managebly sized edition of a popular Time-Life coffee-table book that has gone out of print. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A man of great words...captured in wonderful pictures, October 30, 2007
By 
This review is from: Billy Graham, God's Ambassador: A Celebration of His Life and Ministry (Hardcover)
For anyone who has ever attended a Billy Graham event, or seen one on television, and has embraced his message of God's love and salvation, this book is a gift to you from the author/photographer.

It's been over sixty years since Billy Graham exploded onto the scene as God's ambassador. Billy Graham: God's Ambassador chronicles Graham's life in words and pictures. I suspect that many of the photographs are new to even the persons who might have closely followed Billy Graham's career.

The book includes hundreds of photos, quotes, comments and Graham 's personal statements from his life of serving God and man. It's a uniquely personal look into the life of Billy Graham and his family.

Billy Graham, a man of peace, an advocate of human rights, the pastor to world leaders and the everyday man and woman, the husband, father and friend is first and foremost declares the word of God and His salvation for the world.

Armchair Interviews says: Billy Graham, God's Ambassador is a five-star read and a great gift book.
