    About this audiobook

    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.

      Billy Graham remains one of the most iconic figures of our age: a man who has loved & devotedly followed Jesus Christ and worked his entire life to make Him known, while keeping his integrity & humility intact. Any book that shared his early life & crisis of faith would be a worthwhile read.Or so I thought, until I read the book Billy: The Untold Story of a Young Billy Graham and the Test of Faith that Almost Changed Everything.The entire book is framed around an entirely fictional interview of Charles Templeton, an early friend of Billy Graham who turned away from Christianity. Why such a literary device for either this book or the original movie? If the writer’s purpose was to simply communicate moral truth via drama, then use historical fiction (Mel Gibson’s The Patriot is an obvious example). But if he wanted to let people know what great things God has done in a real person’s life, why mix truth with fantasy? I don’t know.And if you are going to chronicle a person’s life, by all means do not suddenly put in a sudden imaginary conversation among angels and description of titanic spiritual warfare including Satan personally targeting young Billy’s soul which is pure fantasy speculation. Awful. I sincerely hope that Reverend Graham never reads this book; I am convinced he would be deeply hurt.My advice: if you really want to learn about this man of God, skip this book and instead read Graham’s own excellent autobiography Just As I Am.
