Why has Billy Graham, more than any other person, left his imprint
on the religious life and history of our times? Why has a man who
always cherished quiet conversations with ordinary people made
international headlines as perhaps the world best-known "religious
celebrity"? And how did Billy Graham stay free of the tarnishing
Elmer-Gantry-type temptations of money and women? David Poling asks
these and many other questions critics have often asked--and he
offers answers as one who was an outspoken critic in the past but
changed his mind and attitudes. Placing Billy Graham's life and
ministry under the journalist's microscope, Poling examines the
personal qualities and unchanging message that characterized the
great evangelist. He also chronicles the triumphs and struggles of
the Graham Crusades and other far-reaching ministries. Evaluating
the man in the context of the global society of which Graham still
remains so prominent a figure, Poling traces his ministry and its
effects from the early days to his position of leadership and
reveals why Billy Graham won his abiding respect and admiration and
remains a shining example to be followed in his private and public
life and conduct. DAVID POLING is author/co-author of fourteen
books. He has been pastor to Presbyterian congregations in New
York, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. His weekly syndicated column
on faith and ethics appeared in 600 newspapers, with an audience of
17 million. Married to Ann Reid Poling, a Wooster College
classmate(and known to others as "his favorite theologian") the
couple has four grown children and eight grandchildren. Next book:
"The Gospel According to the Apaches."
