From the bookshelf of Billy Graham

Annual digests of “The Christian” – a weekly magazine in Great Britain that was founded in 1859 and later purchased by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in 1962 – are part of the 12,000 volume personal collection of Billy Graham housed in the Library.

 

The Path of a Preacher

A rambunctious and energetic child, who once vowed never to become a public speaker, grew up to become “America’s preacher.” Billy Graham’s journey of faith was used by God to reach millions around the world.

 

Wit & Wisdom

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

 

From Billy Graham’s Bookshelf

One of the books in Mr. Graham’s collection is C. S. Lewis’s “The Weight of Glory,” a compilation of essays delivered by Lewis during World War II including the title essay which was preached as a sermon in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford in June 8, 1941.
