Ruth Bell Graham - Extraordinary Life

A book of integrity which interests from start to finish. Good condition book. Good delivery service.

Excellent Book

I just finished this book and it's a very insightful and inspiring view into the life of Ruth Graham. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those who enjoy biographies.

A book that gives a strong glimpse of Ruth

I am not a big book reader but wanted to read this book and get a better idea of who Ruth was. She recently passed away and from what I saw on TV, she was quite a character. Boy am I glad I got this book... There are places in this book where I actually laughed and cried. Stories were told so well that I really felt I had a good understanding of who she was... and I really regret not having met her. Oh well, perhaps in heaven.... I will tell you that from what I read, I really liked Ruth. She is such a strong Christian but she has got such a sense of humor and a mischeivous streak in her. She redefines what a strong Christian woman is to me. Over the years I have seen a "common mold" to Christian women that sometimes left me a little bored. Well not with Ruth. She has redefined what a strong Christian woman is as well as setting an example of a wonderful and unique Christian life. This book is a keeper... I know I will read it again.

Wonderful woman!

Reading about Ruth Bell Graham is a wonderful thing to do, but it also shows me my own failings. I so wish I could be as kind and generous spirited as Ruth was. She was truly an extraordinary woman and I seriously doubt that anyone ever had anything harmful to say about her. I watched her funeral on TV and her son Franklin was outstanding in what he had to say about his 'mama'. My heart broke when Rev. Billy Graham said that he wished everyone could see how beautiful she was and how he had sat at her coffin for hours just looking at her. How blessed to have a wife, daughter, sister and mother such as Ruth Graham!
