Beschrijving uitgever
The saving message of the Gospel is the heartbeat of this preacher and evangelist. Millions around the world heard Billy Graham proclaim this unchanging truth. He never forgot the transformation of his own life, when he first said yes to God’s gift of salvation, and he witnessed multitudes turn their hearts to the God of Hope.
What is the most hopeful word in History? For Billy Graham, that word is SALVATION.
Billy Graham proclaimed God's Gospel with resolve and deep compassion. It is a message he preached for more than seventy years. And in this book you will sense its urgency, filled with hope for the future.
Salvation is what we all long for, when we are lost or in danger or have made a mess of our lives. And salvation belongs to us, when we reach out for the only One who can rescue us—Jesus.
The Reason for My Hope: Salvation presents the essence of that transformative message. It is biblical and timeless, and though simple and direct, it is far from easy. There are hard words, prophetic words, directed toward a culture that denies the reality of sin and distracts us from the veracity of Hell. But through its ominous warnings shines a light that cannot be extinguished—a beacon of hope that Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In what could be his final book, the world-renowned evangelist (whose Nearing Home has sold more than 700,000 copies) mixes Bible stories with anecdotes and present-day headlines to offer hope to believers and nonbelievers alike. From the Garden of Eden to modern-day politics, not much really has changed, Graham asserts: people can accept the rescue God offers or refuse it. He urges the former, speaking with authority, wisdom, and sincere desire to share the salvation that has given him hope through the decades. Believers will appreciate Graham's profound maturity, which gives him such confidence that his account of Noah's experience, for example, sounds as if the preacher was standing on the ancient ark itself. Those on the fence about the claims of Christianity will be challenged to dig further. A section on questioning facts and defining history is particularly engaging, and there's a trademark invitation for those who are willing to take the leap. The book's release coincides with a My Hope national campaign organized by the Billy Graham Evangelical Association.
