Description
Book SynopsisA fresh new biography telling the remarkable story of Ruth and Billy Graham, endorsed by Billy Graham.
Trade Review“Given the familiarity of the couple, this book could have been predictable. Yet it offers plenty of surprises. Nüesch has made a compelling case that Ruth and Billy’s legacy as a couple surpasses even their individual legacies, formidable though they are. Ruth and Billy Graham makes a worthy contribution to our understanding of modern evangelicalism’s first family.” -- Christianity Today
“Hanspeter spent hundreds of hours researching my family. He gathered every book and article ever written about or by my family. He acquired any piece of information he could get his hands on – books, papers, letters, and articles I had never even seen or knew existed. At times I had to laugh because he seemed to know more about me and my family than I did… Hanspeter’s focused enthusiasm and obedience to what he felt God called him to do have paid off. This book is the finished product.” -- Gigi Graham (in her Foreword)
Meticulously researched and endorsed by the family, this book is a tribute to the life and legacy of an extraordinary couple. In particular, it reveals a winsome couple totally devoted to each other and committed to their mission. -- Woman Alive * Woman Alive *
