This book makes a vital contribution to the
Billy Graham legacy and allows us to understand why his words, actions,
and personality have endeared him to popes and preachers, kings and
presidents, and millions of Christians in virtually every nation and
culture around the world for more than a half-century.
A Prophet with Honor is the biography Graham himself requested and appreciated for its sympathetic but frank approach. In this carefully documented, eminently fair, and gracefully written account, William Martin raises and answers key questions about Grahams character, contributions, and influence on the world religious scene. Tracing Grahams life and ministry from his rural and religious roots in North Carolina to his place as the elder statesman of American evangelicalism, tracing both his triumphs and his tribulations, Martin shows the multidimensional character of the man who has become one of the most admired persons in the world. This engaging and comprehensive book offers a detailed understanding of the most successful evangelist in modern history, and the movement he led for over 50 years.
