Hear my heart [large print] : what I would say to you / Billy Graham.

Graham, Billy, 1918-2018 (author.). Warren, Rick, 1954- (author (afterword)).

Summary:

Evangelist Billy Graham, the twentieth century's foremost religious figure, often asserted that he had but one message: the gospel of Jesus Christ. But within that central message were challenges for believers and nonbelievers alike about the importance of heeding God's call, about the power and the preciousness of the gospel, about the issues of our day and the concerns of eternity. This unprecedented book leaves us with a moving glimpse into Billy's heart -- his last words to us all, as he himself shared them. It also presents an inspiring portrait of him as a Christian, a leader, a family man, a friend, and a preacher of the Word from people who knew him up close.
