Billy Graham has touched the hearts and souls of millions with his message of faith. Hailed as the world's preacher, his calling as an evangelist has taken him to every nation, from Europe to Asia, from major capitals to the most remote outposts. His crusades have spanned fifty years, and he has been a part of history in the making and friend to every president since Eisenhower. A pioneer in social issues, he has led by his extraordinary example of integrity. In Just As I Am, published by Harper Collins in 1997, Billy Graham looks back at it all with down-to-earth warmth and candor--remembering his dairy farm upbringing, his early preaching experiences, and the overwhelming international response to his public ministry. The New York Times remarked, "[t]he story of Graham's life itself is so remarkable.
