Now available in paperback, Through My Father’s Eyes takes an intimate look at Billy Graham’s incredible life and unstoppable calling through the unique perspective of his son Franklin. As a beloved evangelist and a respected man of God, Billy Graham stated his purpose in life, and it never wavered: to help people find a personal relationship with God through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his life’s work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father. While most people knew Billy Graham as America’s pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his father’s life and the examples of his father’s love. This vulnerable book is a look at both Billy Graham the evangelist and Billy Graham the father and the impact he had on a son who walked in his father’s steps while also becoming his own man, leading ministries around the world, all of it based on the foundational lessons his father taught him.“My father left behind a testimony to God,” says Franklin, “a legacy not buried in a grave but still pointing people to a heaven-bound destiny. The Lord will say to my father, and to all who served Him obediently, Well done, good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:21).”

Billy Graham, el amado evangelista y respetado hombre de Dios, nunca dudó de su propósito en la vida: ayudar a las personas a tener una relación personal con Dios a través del conocimiento salvador de Jesucristo. Ese fue un llamado que creció cada vez más en intensidad y Billy lo aceptó por completo durante su ministerio activo y más allá de este. No obstante, al igual que muchos otros hombres, él se dedicó también al llamado igualmente valioso de ser un esposo y padre amoroso. Aunque la mayoría de la gente conocía a Billy Graham como una leyenda viviente, Frankin Graham lo conoció como su papá. Y aunque las generaciones actuales y futuras llegarán a sus propias conclusiones acerca de Billy Graham y el legado de su entrega a Cristo, nadie puede abordar el tema con más detalles y con toda la seriedad del caso que un hijo que se crio a la sombra de la vida de su padre y del ejemplo de su amor. «Mi padre dejó un testimonio de Dios», explica Franklin, «y una herencia que no quedará enterrada en una tumba, sino que seguirá guiando a la gente a su destino celestial. El Señor le dirá a él y a todos los que le sirven con obediencia: “Bien, buen siervo y fiel” (Mateo 25.21)». Este libro relata la notable vida de Billy no como la historia de un gigante espiritual, sino de la forma en que Franklin siempre lo ha visto: a través de los ojos de su padre.

In the parable of the sower, Jesus foretold all the ways the world would try to reject God's Word. Rocks will be thrown at the righteous, dirty birds will try to steal your peace and assurance, and briars will try to choke out the clear truth with noise and confusion. Today, the rocks are hardened hearts that have turned from God, the dirty birds are enemies of the Gospel dispelling negative influences, and the briars are the media channels seeking to distract, confuse, and alarm. Satan uses these threats to scorch out, choke out, and steal away God's Word. Yet God is unchangeable and infallible. His Word is the seed that produces truthfulness, holiness, and obedience-and we are called to plant it, nurture it, and tend it in order to have a fruitful harvest.

The greatest promise ever given to the human race came from the lips of our Redeemer when Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me... I go to prepare a place for you... I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1–3). Just after his ninety-fifth birthday, Mr. Graham proclaimed with resolve, “When I die, tell others that I’ve gone to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—that’s where I am.”
