Ruth Bell Graham: Her Legacy in Writing
“Her life is ruled by the Bible more than any person I’ve ever known.” Billy Graham on his wife, Ruth Bell Graham
Ruth Bell Graham’s legacy lives on in her husband, Reverend Billy Graham, and her children and grandchildren. But she also left behind a legacy in words. She authored and co-authored many books, as well as having many written about her by other authors. Her death on June 14, 2007, reverberates throughout the world from her birthplace in China to her home in North Carolina. This remarkable woman had the ability to touch the lives of millions through her intelligence, love, laughter, and understanding. I have compiled this list of books both by her and about her in the hopes that you will read at least one of them and learn from the examples of a woman who loved and lived for Christ each day of her life.
