  1. The life and times of Billy Graham mark a revolutionary ministry of preaching that affected the totality of evangelism world-wide in the post-World War II era. The Rev. Graham now writes in a clear fashion what some issues are that we must all plan for with retirement and setting up an estate. Most of all, Dr. Graham shares what we must do to meet God. His introductory statement “I never thought I would live to be this old” nevertheless mixes with sage advice on taking care of family and one’s own self.
