Through My Father's Eyes

Franklin Graham Through My Father's Eyes takes an intimate look at Billy Graham's incredible life and unstoppable calling through the unique perspective of his son Franklin.

This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his life's work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father. Pb | 336 pgs | THOMAS NELSON

His world exploded and collapsed around him, losing his home, hospital, family and friends. Yet he remained uncompromising in his commitment to serve his people, through these near-apocalyptic events.
