About this ebook

The remarkable true story of a young Billy Graham and his best friend who walked away from the faith.

We all know how the story ends but how did it begin? Before he became a household name, and America's Pastor, he was simply known as Billy. When he wasn't playing baseball, he was discovering his love for Christian ministry. His best friend, Charles Templeton, was already on track to be a highly successful evangelist and the two young men began strategizing on how to win the world for Christ. That plan takes a drastic turn, however, when Templeton deserts the faith and becomes an atheist. The impact of this decision on a young Billy Graham is immeasurable and agonizing. Charles would later become the great intellectual architect for agnosticism and atheism. Billy would become the single greatest messenger for the Christian Gospel. It is one of the great untold dramas between friends - Atheism vs Christianity, betrayal and hope.

William Paul McKay and Ken Abraham share a compelling look into the life of Billy Graham in the book Billy! The writers take the reader in an interesting dialog between the perspective of Charles Templeton, early evangelist with Billy Graham, and an interesting walk through the life of Billy Graham. Graham stated early on that is was his desire that Jesus would be the focus and I believe this book did just that! This book shared an interesting look into the early travels of Billy Graham and Charles Templeton as they travelled around the world sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The book focuses on many trials and triumphs these men faced through the eyes of Templeton. What I liked about the book was how it brought out many of Mr. Grahams characteristics allowing the reader to really get to know him, his love for his family and his love for Jesus Christ as he shared the Gospel. It contrasted two men who ended up with two different viewpoints on life. One had a confidence in what he believed and one who later struggled and ultimately turned his back on what he believed to be true. Billy shares the importance of Faith and remaining true to what you believe!
