Most Popular Books by Billy Graham

"I''m the man of the hour," Superstar Billy Graham told his audiences, "the man with the power. Too sweet to be sour!" Despite years of devastating health issues (a long history of drug abuse led to a liver transplant in 2002), the man regarded as one of the most influential professional wrestlers of the past thirty years still flaunts the same optimism that made his interviews as compelling as his matches. In Tangled Ropes, his autobiography, Graham remembers his victories -- and his setbacks -- on both the wrestling and the evangelism circuits in vibrant detail. At his core, Graham is still Wayne Coleman, the artistic, curious boy who escaped the wrath of his disabled father in post-war Phoenix through painting, sports, and bodybuilding. When his photo appeared in a bodybuilding magazine, the young man caught the attention of a family in Texas who began praying for his soul. Soon, Wayne found religion at a revival meeting, then mortified his parents as he left home to bend steel, rip phone books in half, and preach the Gospel on the back roads of America. Because of his natural athleticism, Wayne held a series of jobs -- from bouncer to boxer, from repo man to football player. However, it was under the training of the "Mentor of Mayhem," Stu Hart, that the wrestler was revealed. Then the fading headliner Dr. Jerry Graham bleached Wayne''s hair blond and transformed him into an in-ring "brother." Still reverent of men of faith, Coleman became "Billy Graham," after the preacher. Graham completed the package with his golden tan and enormous "pythons," a succession of color-coordinated outfits and jive-talking -- a persona imitated by countless wrestlers, including Hulk Hogan and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. The Superstar''s greatest wrestling achievement came in 1977, when he took the World Wide Wrestling Federation Championship from Bruno Sammartino. He held the prize for nearly a year -- the first wrestling villain to do so. But after he lost the title to wholesome Bob Backlund, Graham fell into a deep depression. He disappeared from the business, squandering his money and losing himself in a haze of drugs. In Tangled Ropes -- co-written with Keith Elliot Greenberg -- Superstar Billy Graham tells a story that transcends his life in the wrestling profession, offering candor, nostalgia, inspiration, and humor. Graham''s narrative is supplemented by anecdotes from personalities like Vince McMahon, Jesse Ventura, Ivan Koloff, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Combining the strength and stealth of his namesake with a creative scientific intelligence, the Black Panther is an icon of Afro-futurist fantasy.

Evangelist and author Billy Graham proclaims that "the way to God is through personal faith in Jesus Christ." This redesigned tract explains the undeserved gift of salvation.

El evangelizador de América presenta su obra maestra. ¿Quién se rehusaría a ser salvado? Esta es la pregunta que Billy Graham hace a lo largo de este libro. La respuesta es muchas veces sorprendente porque, en efecto, hay personas que se rehúsan a ser salvadas aunque se encuentren en una situación de desesperanza. ¿Por qué? Cada capítulo de este libro atrae al lector planteándole preguntas para su reflexión y usando ilustraciones relevantes que le permitirán observar las diferencias entre lo que piensa el mundo y lo que la Biblia dice. El propósito de Billy Graham es lograr que el lector se interese por contemplar su vida a la luz del aquí, el ahora y el más allá. ¿Quién se rehusaría a ser rescatado de un accidente aéreo, de un naufragio, del incendio de un automóvil o de la bala de un asesino? Se incluyen relatos verdaderos que harán al lector preguntarse qué piensa y cómo respondería a experiencias similares, llevándolo al final a la pregunta más importante de la vida. En lo que podría ser su último libro, Billy Graham presenta el mensaje central que ha guiado su vida y su vocación por más de 70 años. Colmado de nuevas historias y una verdad siempre vigente, Graham invita al mundo a volver a su prioridad espiritual como solo él puede hacerlo.

El pensamiento, el mensaje y el legado de Billy Graham. Billy Graham fue quizás la figura religiosa más importante del siglo XX. El movimiento y las organizaciones a las que él ayudó a crear siguen desempeñando un papel relevante en el siglo XXI. Durante toda su vida, Graham predicó personalmente a más de doscientos millones de personas; a otros tantos millones a través de la televisión, del cine y por satélite. Casi tres millones de personas respondieron al llamado de "aceptar a Jesús en su corazón" que él hacía al finalizar su mensaje. En toda la historia, ningún otro predicador proclamó el Evangelio a más personas en todo el mundo que él. Miles de líderes en todos los continentes dan testimonio de su humildad y su caminar en integridad. Para muchos, William Franklin Graham, o "Billy", como prefería ser llamado, será recordado por su humildad ante el Todopoderoso que animó a millones de personas de todo el mundo a acercarse al Señor. Que este libro, que expresa de tantas formas las últimas palabras que nos ha dejado, pueda alentarle a hacer lo mismo. “Sus huellas me han guiado a lo largo de mi ministerio, y aún las sigo”. —Rick Warren

Billy Graham geht den Fragen auf den Grund, die sich die gesamte Menschheit stellt: Was ist der Sinn des Lebens? Wie führt man ein erfülltes Leben? Und gibt es wahren Frieden? Kraftvoll und überzeugend schildert er die Probleme, die uns auf der Suche nach Frieden begegnen, und die Lösungen, die Gott für diese Probleme vorgesehen hat. Das Ergebnis steht fest: Friede mit Gott ist das, was wir wirklich brauchen und wonach wir uns sehnen.

Billy Graham comparte la realidad de una eternidad con Jesucristo basándose en la mayor promesa dada a la raza humana: ''no se angustien. Confíen en Dios, confíen también en mí... Voy a prepararles lugar... Vendré para llevármelos conmigo. Así ustedes estarán donde yo esté'' (Juan 14. 1-4)

"While his earthly vision dims, the glory of heaven is illuminated as Billy Graham, the beloved evangelist, shares from his past, and present, the reality of eternity"--Page ix
