Publisher Description
No one has preached the gospel to more people than evangelist Billy Graham. But behind this exceptional man is an equally exceptional woman who made his global ministry possible. Through her love, support, prayers, and personal ministry, Ruth helped shape the ten core values that have been foundational to the Grahams' ministry:
· partnership
· authenticity
· humility
· intimacy
· focus
· integrity
· faith
· global responsibility
· empowerment
· grace
In light of these core values, personal friend of the Grahams and director for Campus Crusade for Christ International in Switzerland Hanspeter Nüesch describes both the life and ministry of Billy and Ruth. This deeply personal book illuminates the legacy the Grahams leave to couples doing ministry today and into the future, sharing stories and anecdotes from their life and times.

“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.”

“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.”
