Billy Graham in Quotes by Franklin Graham

This is an interesting book.  It is a great compilation of quotes from an amazing man of God.  The book is divided into 107 topics, such as The Blood, End Times, Eternity, Jesus, Greed, Heaven and Hell, Peace, Suffering, Surrender and more.  It is laid out really well, all topics are in alphabetical order, making it very easy to find a quote on a particular area of interest.  The forward, by Franklin Graham, and the introduction, by Billy Graham himself, are a great way to start in, giving a bit of background on how he teaches and why he uses the Bible as his ultimate authority.

As a book to sit down and read, it was difficult.  Besides the forward and introduction there are no paragraphs to further discuss any of the quotes.  It is quite simply the topic, a verse related to it, and then the quotes.  It's a relatively quick read because everything is in short little blurbs, but just something different than reading your regular book.  To me it feels more like a handy tool than a book to curl up with a read straight through.

Many of the quotes were very moving and inspirational to me.  I think Billy Graham is an incredible man with great insight into tough topics and questions people have.  I'm glad I own this book and can refer back to it when I need just the right quote for something, or even to boost my spirits or give me extra umph in my Spiritual journey.  Overall it's a very good book showcasing a very devoted follower of Jesus, a model to us all.
