The journey : how to live by faith in an uncertain world

This weekend, I choose this book The journey : how to live by faith in an uncertain world written by Graham, Billy (1918 - )



With insights from a life spent pursuing God, beloved evangelist Graham delivers his magnum opus, the culmination of a lifetime of experience and ministry.

Another book I would recommend for Angel Quills' blog fans for good read this weekend is Billy Graham speaks : insight from the world's greatest preacher in case you can finish reading the previous one in one day, so spare some time to read this book from the same author, Billy Graham.



The reason why I like this author and his book is Billy Graham is one of those rare individuals who has become a legend in his own lifetime. Recognized as the world's most famous evangelist, he has preached to more people than anyone in the history of religion. Billy Graham's influence, however, reaches far beyond the pulpit as he has become a worldwide crusader for religion, a spokesman for political and social change, and a sublimely successful businessman and fundraiser.

I also like to recommend Graham's The Holy Spirit : activating God's power in your life.



The wisdom and guidance he has offered the world are captured in Billy Graham Speaks, a unique portrait of the reverend in his own words-culled from sermons, newscasts, articles, and interviews. Graham talks about everything from marriage, children, and faith, to religious tolerance, leadership, and integrity, to popes, presidents, and ordinary people. He reflects on his life as an evangelist who has traveled the world and witnessed some of this century's milestone events, including the advent of racial integration in the South, the fall of Communism, and the social and political struggles in Northern Ireland and South Africa. He looks within to confront his own feelings of self-doubt and discuss his undying belief in God that has been central to his life for more than three quarters of a century.

"God calls us to invest our time, our very lives, primarily in people, not in projects or possessions." - Billy Graham

The last but not least, if you are sick of being branded by the worldly people, or suffering persecution for your religious beliefs, you may refer to this the autobiography of Billy Graham, Just as I am.

Wishing you have a fruitful and safe weekend.
