At this time, he was with the Northwestern Schools where he later resigned in 1952 to focus on ministry, and inaugurated his film ministry. He got married to Bell in 1943 and they had five children. Billy Graham died on the 21st of February, 2018 at a very old age. You may be asking, “What does this have to do with planning for old age? ” The things we value during the prime of life will follow us into the twilight years. If we wisely value faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, it will strengthen us as we age.
I had been taught all my life how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old. Despite being a Christian since preschool, I've never actually read any of Billy Graham's books, or even heard an entire sermon in full. So I was excited for his latest , and I wasn't disappointed. If you’re looking for a ground level book that’s approachable, devotional, & practical than Nearing Home would serve you well. "All my life I was taught how to die as a Christian, but no one ever taught me how I ought to live in the years before I die. I wish they had because I am an old man now, and believe me, it's not easy."

What Graham does well in this book is offer practical advise on you can near home well. Often what he says is balanced and he writes in a readable prose style. Nearing Home not a robust theological treatise on dying well. It’s written more like a memoir or a letter to a friend with practical wisdom. The topic of aging, finishing well, and death is such an important topic I wish some of the theological pipework was exposed more explicitly.
I have no doubt that there would be people who would love this book, but I'm just not one of them. Of course, the book is filled with practical advice from the pages of the Bible. Not surprising from the most famous evangelist of our time. The earnest evangelist hitting his lifelong note comes through. Don't see nearly as much of the man behind the message as I might have hoped.

Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well
Graham's honesty gave me compassion for the experience of growing older. It is not easy, and yet generations before us can significantly impact the generations that follow. If you are on this earth, God has a plan and purpose for you. There is dignity and value in all ages and generations, especially when we come together. Here Graham poses an important question to which he provides an excellent answer in his second sentence. He then pivots to explain his answer in Christian terms.

There are a lot of things to consider and Billy Graham brought all of these to the forefront in this book. Reading it reminded me of the many sermons I’ve heard from country evangelist’s sermons filled with anecdotes, Scripture’s woven throughout, and practical application. And what would you expect from a former evangelist but a clear presentation of the gospel and also an invitation to pray for salvation .

Graham also speaks about his enduring love for Ruth and how difficult it’s been for him since her passing. I enjoyed reading his words, and being that this is my first Billy Graham book, I am not disappointed. It exceeded my expectations and gently gave me insight into the older generation that at times have befuddled me. We’re all nearing home because death is uncertain and none of us know the day or time when death will knock on our door.
This is an easy book to read and I appreciated his message. Growing older is not easy and can easily be depressing if we focus on what we can’t do instead of what we can. Rev. Graham has accomplished so much for the cause of Christ, but he is always humble in his demeanor and writing. I think it's one of those books that I should read once a year and I will be able to gain fresh insight each time.
I am 64, retired, and wanted to hear what Graham had to say. Graham brings personal knowledge as well as religious teaching to bear upon his subject. He retired in 2005 from the rigors of the evangelical ministry in which he had engaged for more than 50 years. At the age of 92, Graham has become increasingly frail and his activities curtailed severely.
But he has plenty of insights for younger people to consider as well. To ask other readers questions aboutNearing Home,please sign up. In addition, he also received the Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted.
I recently toured his library and was fascinated and awed at the amazing things that he accomplished in his life. You have to respect a man who is dedicated to his cause and truly tries to live by what he believes! If you’re going to read it make sure you read some of his other works as well. Billy Graham is candid enough to admit that "old age is not for sissies" and he has made an effort to explore the challenges of aging from a personal and scriptural perspectives. The wisdoms and insights shared by Graham are likely to open the flood-gates to renewed interests in the subject of aging and care-giving.
