Publisher's summary
A Prophet with Honor is the biography Billy Graham himself invited and appreciated for its sympathetic but frank approach. Carefully documented, eminently fair, and gracefully written, it raises and answers key questions about Graham's character, contributions, and influence on the world religious scene. In this engaging and comprehensive book, William Martin gives readers a better understanding of the most successful evangelist in modern history, and the movement he led for over fifty years.
A Prophet with Honor makes a vital contribution to the Billy Graham legacy and allows us to understand why his words, actions, and personality endeared him to popes and preachers, kings and presidents, and millions of Christians in virtually every nation and culture around the world.
Martin draws on
- extensive conversations with Graham himself
- nearly two hundred interviews
- previously untouched resources, including documents from six presidential libraries and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association archives
- personal observation of Graham's crusades and conferences in the United States and Europe
- decades of research on evangelical Christianity
Martin pays particular attention to Graham's controversial relationships with Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. He also describes how Graham's lifelong determination ""to do something great for God"" led him to organize international conferences that spearheaded the worldwide spread of the liberating message of Jesus, and prompted him to help strengthen religious freedom in the Soviet bloc and China.
Tracing Graham's life and ministry from his rural and religious roots in North Carolina to his place as the elder statesman of American evangelicalism, examining both his triumphs and his tribulations, Martin shows the multidimensional character of the man who has become one of the most admired persons in the world.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Bruce Shelley's classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the 21st century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking you from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history.

Story
For more than five decades, Billy Graham (1918 to 2018) ranked as one of the most influential voices in the Christian world. Nearly 215 million people around the world heard him preach in person or through live electronic media, almost certainly more than any other person. For millions, Graham was less a preacher than a Protestant saint. While remaining orthodox at the core, over time, his approach on many issues became more irenic and progressive. And his preaching continued to resonate, propelled by his powerful promise of a second chance.

But as the end draws near, they are given an unexpected choice: either to go home and spend their last six days in their familiar world, or to search for salvation across the forthcoming centuries - living each one of their remaining days 99 years after the last. John and William choose the future and find themselves in 1447, ignorant of almost everything going on. The year 1546 brings no more comfort, and 1645 challenges them further....

A fascinating insight into notable speeches that were never delivered, showing what could have been if history had gone down a different path. For almost every delivered speech, there exists an undelivered opposite. These "second speeches" provide alternative histories of what could have been if not for schedule changes, changes of heart, or momentous turns of events.

Richard Nixon was a young Navy officer when he first saw Dwight D. Eisenhower through a storm of tickertape as Manhattan celebrated the end of the war in Europe. Seven years later, Nixon was Eisenhower's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket-the beginning of a political and personal relationship that lasted for nearly twenty years. Despite a gulf that separated them by age and temperament, their association evolved into a collaboration that helped to shape the nation's political ideology.

Five stars is not enough
Best biography that I’ve ever encountered. Not only because of who Billy Graham was, but also because of thoroughness of research.
A must read for anyone that has heard praise or criticism of Billy Graham.

A compete Biography of Billy Graham
William Martin takes an honest approach to the life of Billy Graham. The events of the 20th century all include some aspect of Billy Graham being present. He was not a politician yet influenced many who knew him. Martin also depicts an imperfect and tireless crusader for Christ who would not have accomplished half of what he did without the wisdom and guidance of his beloved strong willed, and enormously intelligent wife Ruth. Worth reading for Christian and Non-Christian historians.

Mesmerizing account of this "Man of his Time"
Billy Graham. My knowledge of this man was limited, but after reading of his death, I felt compelled to learn more. I selected this book as it was Graham who invited Bill Martin to write his biography.
While a 36+ hour audio book was challenging, I was captivated by the narrative and mesmerized by the man. It was amazing to learn of his accomplishments and fascinating to discover the diplomatic negotiations involved in each of his crusades around the world.
Martin keep's one's attention in describing Graham's significance and the workings of his organization. Reverend Graham was a towering figure and truly a man of his time. Yes, Martin captures it all!
If you have an interest in faith, history and / or fascinating people, this is a book for you.

Balanced, and with a heart of love
What are the best biographies that I’ve read in a long time. And I read a good number of them so many people want to create halos around our heroes. MARTIN did not do that. He spoke of the good and the questionable. He spoke of the family dynamics And honored Billy Graham throughout the whole time, but did not make him a sinless saint

A Man of Integrity
I started this book less than a week after Billy’s death, mostly just to get to know the man. Like anyone born in the last 50 years, I’ve always known about Billy Graham and heard about the wonder of his crusades, but I never really knew his story. Two things that really stand out to me about Billy:
First, the man was one of deep integrity. Learning about the measures he took to abstain from certain sins or to keep his marriage and his ministry clean from scandal or even a bad reputation was remarkable. Anything remotely fishy, he worked tirelessly to keep away from. That’s a huge encouragement to me and I’m thankful that the Lord preserved him in that way.
Second, I do not agree with Billy Graham on every theological point that he might have held, but every one of us could learn a thing or two from him on how to love others. He had this way of seeing and seeking the best in people, sinners though they were, and showing them an unconditional love without shunning them for their differences. He preached Jesus, and he did not budge on that, AND that did not keeping him from trying to persuade others with love. Something like that is very rare, this day and age.
William Martin has done an amazing work here. I cannot imagine the time and effort that goes into a project such as this. Over 800 pages (or 36 hours of an audiobook), telling the story of a man who was seemingly larger than life. One who had a deep conviction for preaching the simple gospel that Christ saves sinners. He was never above that. And he never seemed to take his eye off it.

Wonderful Life, Wonderful Biography
I've read some great biographies, but the updated edition of The Billy Graham Story, for me, is one of the best. Or probably the best. Of course, Mr. Graham's life was amazing and inspiring. The author's (William C. Martin) research and writing was incredibly thorough and wonderful. The narration by Maurice England made listening to this book better, at least for me, than reading it. I was sorry when the book ended. I'll listen again - it was that good.

Honest and Informative
Martin’s biography is a faithful and honest look at the life of the evangelical evangelist. His story telling is through and informative. His reflection is frank and straight forward. I appreciate Martin’s in-depth cultural and theological background of the revivalism that set the stage for Graham and Graham’s political, theological, and personal strengths and weaknesses. Well worth the time listening.

I am so glad that I listened to this book!
I found out about more than just the history of Billy Graham; I heard about American history, also. The book is written well and helped me understand the how and why of Billy Graham's reaching out to everyone, not just evangelicals. My favorite parts of the story are the evangelist conferences held in Amsterdam. What work BGEA must've done to find all those evangelists in the uttermost parts of the Earth. I was so glad that he did those conferences, we won't know until we get to Heaven what those conferences wrought. I am so glad that I used my credit to purchase this book and for taking 36 hours of my time to listen to the book. My money and time was well spent!
