Each month, Franklin Graham and Will Graham pick a book based on its inspirational message, while the Library staff selects a “Bessie’s Pick” book for children to enjoy.
While his earthly vision dimmed, the glory of heaven was illuminated as Billy Graham, the beloved evangelist, shared the reality of eternity.
Although Billy Graham may no longer preach from the stadiums of the world, in this book you will sense his passionate belief that he is spending eternity with Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
In Where I am, Mr. Graham invites and strongly encourages all of us to contemplate our eternal hope.
When asked, “Where is Heaven?” Mr. Graham wisely replied, “Heaven is where Jesus Christ is, and I’m going to HIM soon.”
The greatest promise ever given to the human race came from the lips of our Redeemer when Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. … If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.“ (John 14:1-3)
In Where I Am, Mr. Graham shares what the Bible has to say about Eternity from all of its sixty-six books; messages of truth, warning, love, and the certainty of the future, all gleaned by a man who would like to be remembered solely as a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Everyone’s a theologian—even your little one. Each board book in the For the Bible Tells Me So series offers kids ages 0-4 an introduction to key facets of the gospel and a glimpse at the joy found when children embrace Christ as their Lord and Savior. In God Cares for Me, author Kristen Wetherell explores God’s creation and providence, revealing his abundant care for the things he has made—including his children!
This board book uses repetition, easy-to-understand language, and interactive elements to keep kids engaged and coming back again and again. Deeply rooted in Scripture, Wetherell’s words highlight God’s power, creativity, and provision for his people to teach children about the comfort found in Christ.

You are meant for more. God has called you to live a radical life for Him— one that makes a lasting impact on this world. Like Jesus did.
But how is this possible?
There’s never been anyone in history as radical as Jesus. From the way that He prayed, to how He interacted with sinners, to His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus was a revolutionary. It’s just who He was. As His followers we are called to be like him. It’s not just something we should aspire to, it’s a reality that we must strive for every day. We can live as Jesus did—be radical like He was—because as Christians, Jesus lives in us and wants to live through us. When Jesus lives his life through us, we begin to do the things that He did.
And that’s what Radical Like Jesus is all about—putting into practice the rhythms, activities and actions that Jesus modeled throughout His life.
Radical like Jesus is meant to challenge you with:
Every chapter ends with a Radical Like Jesus Challenge. Some will truly stretch your faith, and all of them will help you live like Jesus lived. Take these challenges individually or do them as a group and you’ll never be the same.
Live your life on mission. Become radical like Jesus.
