This book is spectacular! Written by William Paul McKay and Ken Abraham about Billy Graham and his friend and co-evangelist turned atheist Charles Templeton.
This seldom heard tale that could have changed the face of the Western church and perhaps the world is very well written utilizing flashbacks and switching between the main characters as well as different locations.
Part of the story focuses on Charles Templeton and eventually his relationship with the impeccable Billy Graham. Reading about Graham's boyhood faith (or seeming lack of it), his college years and his budding relationship with Ruth Bell was very interesting. I learned quite a bit of detail about the life of one of the most influential men of our time.
the story does not skimp on excitement either. At the point where Billy Graham was working through his crisis of faith-I could not put the book down. Of course I knew the outcome, but the authors captured my attention by focusing on what was occurring in the spiritual realm as well as the sweat and cries of Reverend Graham.
The book offers historical insight and a very well told story about a rather "average" man that through God's strength goes on to do mighty and wonderful things.
I highly recommend this book
