Billy Graham

I was delighted he has some thing to say to us about his ( Nearing Home).

I would like to tell you about this in the book. You know the book (Unbroken) by Laura Hillenbrand the man the book was about, Lieutenant Louis Zanperini , he has a surprising story about him in this book.

Did you know that in 1983 Patricia Cornwell wrote a book about Ruth Bell Graham? She was a childhood friend of the family. That is how I came to read her books. After she had so many best sellers Patricia Cornwell's books became so graphic I stop reading her books, they gave me nightmares.But you will love this book. After I read it I felt like I knew Ruth Graham personally.
