 William
Franklin Graham, III, born 14 July 1952, is the fourth of five children born
to evangelist Billy Graham and his wife, Ruth Bell Graham. Raised in a log home
in the Appalachian Mountains outside Asheville, North Carolina, Franklin now lives
in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina.
Franklin was born
into a heritage rich in Christian ministry. By the time of Franklin's birth, Billy
Graham was already known around the world as a spiritual leader, but he wasn't
the only spiritual giant in the family. Franklin's maternal grandfather, Lemuel
Nelson Bell, was a medical missionary to China for more than 20 years, a respected
moderator of his denomination, the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and
a co-founder and executive editor of Christianity Today.
At
age 22, after a period of rebellion and travelling the world, Franklin committed
his life to Jesus Christ while alone in a hotel room in Jerusalem. Soon after
that, Dr. Bob Pierce, founder of Samaritan's Purse (and World Vision), invited
Franklin to join him on a six-week mission to Asia. It was during that time that
Franklin felt a calling to work with hurting people in areas of the world affected
by war, famine, disease and natural disasters.

Rebel With a Cause: Finally Comfortable
Being Graham
 For
most of Franklin Graham’s life, walking in his daddy’s footsteps was the farthest
thing from Franklin’s mind. In fact, it wasn’t until the age of twenty-two that
Franklin was “finally comfortable being Graham.” Rebel With A Cause is Franklin’s
account of his early struggles and his late triumphs.

Bob Pierce: This One Thing I Do
 Here
is a larger-than-life portrait of a man whose ministry began with compassion for
one child in China and ended up with a program to rescue countless thousands around
the world. Bob Pierce: This One Thing I Do is the story of Robert Willard Pierce,
outstanding evangelical humanitarian—founder of World Vision and Samaritan's Purse,
co-founder of Youth for Christ—a man whose constant prayer was that his heart
be broken by the things that break the heart of God.

Living Beyond The Limits: A Life in Sync With GOD
 Instead
of joy and fulfillment, many people feel exhausted, depressed, and empty inside.
Sometimes they wonder, is this all life has to offer? Franklin Graham says we
experience this feeling because we're out of sync with God. In Living Beyond the
Limits, he helps readers discover that God's principles and promises are essential
for a fulfilling life.
Living Beyond the Limits is a practical, powerful
book of inspiring stories about people who have put their faith into action in
the most adverse circumstances. Their stories will amaze and encourage readers
to face their fears, surrender them to God, and watch Him take them beyond what
they could ever have imagined. |
The
Name
 Before
offering a prayer at the inauguration of President George W. Bush, Franklin Graham
was asked by a fellow participant if he intended to pray in the name of Jesus
Christ. Graham assured him that he would and encouraged this pastor to do the
same. As Graham reminded him, "That's the only thing we've got”. In days of religious
confusion and cultural relativism, Franklin Graham reminds us that there are absolutes
in the kingdom of God. The Name explains the significance of names in the Hebrew
culture, centering on the meaningfulness of the name Jesus. Chapters focus on
the different aspects of power in the Lord's name, such as "Healing in the Name"
and "Salvation in the Name."

All
For Jesus
 Through
vivid description and sound biblical teaching, Franklin Graham and Ross Rhoads
make Scripture passages come alive in this devotional, causing the reader to not
only hear the Word but to experience it. In a compassionate yet uncompromising
approach, All For Jesus offers insights on a variety of topics, including God's
will, forgiveness, prayer, the Holy Spirit, God's character, worship, and serving
God. Ultimately, this devotional challenges us all to move beyond reluctance and
fear to increase our faith and become fully committed disciples of Christ.
