From the Back Cover
He was the man behind the man. A true servant. A next-level leader. When longtime friend T. W. Wilson accepted the invitation to be Billy Graham's personal assistant, he had no idea how God would use him. But as he followed God's call, T. W. became the right-hand man whose wise counsel and dedicated service allowed Billy Graham's ministry to flourish. T. W. Wilson went on to greatly impact the world with his humble, purposeful servanthood. Now you can discover the meaning, the purpose, and the kingdom calling of true biblical servanthood through his example. Filled with interviews and stories from many of Billy Graham's associates, plus eight pages of photographs, this book offers a fascinating look inside the most successful evangelistic ministry of modern times, as well as an inspiring blueprint for purposeful servant-leadership. "T. W. Wilson was one of the most honorable, decent, nice men I have ever met. His love for Billy Graham knew no bounds, and his propensity for friendships was also unlimited."--George H. W. Bush, forty-first president of the United States "Stimulating and inspiring. Everyone will benefit from the leadership lessons that are revealed."--James T. Draper Jr., president and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources "Precise, humorous, emotional, inspirational are words that effectively describe this book that should be read by every Christian."--Billy Kim, president, Baptist World Alliance; president, Far East Broadcasting Company, Korea

This review is from: Leading with Billy Graham: The Leadership Principles and Life of T.W. Wilson (Hardcover)
This book contains a number of great stories from the life of T.W. Wilson; however, overlaid on top of the stories of his ministry are the leadership principles of this author. I'm not saying his principles are wrong, but they seem unnaturally squeezed into this book. Also, the first chapter is filled with a hodgepodge of sermon illustrations that may top a list of cliche illustrations somewhere.
