Hailed as “the world’s preacher,” Billy Graham enjoyed a career that spanned six decades and his ministry of faith touched the hearts and souls of millions.

In Just As I Am, a #1 New York Times bestseller, Graham reveals his life story in what the Chicago Tribune calls “a disarmingly honest autobiography.” With down-to-earth warmth and candor, Graham tells the stories of the events and encounters that helped shape his life. He recounts meetings with presidents, celebrities, and world leaders, including Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth, and the Shah of Iran, and shares his own spiritual journey as he movingly reflects on his personal life and relationships. This is an inspirational and unforgettable portrait that will be treasured by readers everywhere.

“Although the high political anecdotes keep one amused throughout this tome, and the story of Graham’s life itself is so remarkable, underlying regret propels the book with a sadness that is strangely haunting.” —The New York Times Book Review

“One of the most remarkable evangelistic careers in American religious history . . . the ultimate insider’s perspective on the mix of religion and White House politics.” —St. Paul Pioneer Press

“For nearly five decades, Graham has, in his crusades around the globe, given the world what it has often believed to be a glimpse of America . . . in his openness, his capacity for growth, his artlessness and simple geniality, he has also shown the world our best self.” —Los Angeles Times
