Each month, Franklin Graham picks a book based on its inspirational message, while the Library staff selects a “Bessie’s Pick” book for children to enjoy.
Franklin’s Pick: Just As I Am; the autobiography of Billy Graham
Billy Graham proclaimed the Gospel around the world for over seventy years, leading many to make life-changing decisions for Jesus Christ. Hailed as “the world’s preacher,” his ministry of faith spanned six decades and has touched the hearts and souls of millions. Even after his coming to glory, his words and life story in his autobiography, Just As I Am, are still drawing people closer to Christ.
This updated version includes a forward and afterword from his son Franklin Graham, as well as pictures capturing Dr. Graham’s last decade of life, including his funeral service and lying in honor at the U.S. Capitol.
“This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”—Psalm 118:23, ESV
Bessie’s Pick: Christmas is Coming! by Tama Fortner Jensen with Illustrations by Wazza Pink
The wondrous plan of the Christmas story started long, long ago. . . . The prophets knew, Mary and Joseph knew, the angels knew, the wise men knew . . . and now we know too!
Christmas is for celebrating Jesus, God’s greatest gift to the world. While Christmas excitement often focuses on hanging lights, opening gifts, and decorating trees, Christmas Is Coming! offers a different—and true—reason for our joy and celebration. Designed to be read and reread during the days leading up to Christmas, the story lets children ages 2-6 listen with wonder and anticipation as the story of God’s plan for Jesus’ arrival unfolds.
