The Journey

In a patient and kind manner, John H. Mayer narrates Billy Graham's life journey and reveals its parallels in biblical stories and lessons. In this "magnum opus," Graham reviews his life and the choices he made, and gives advice to the listener on how to choose the right path, the one with God. Graham makes many revelations about how his path was cast and what influenced his decisions. Mayer has a convincing teacher's voice as well as a minister's tone. Part autobiography, part evangelical preaching, this is an inspiring piece for those who want to find something that is missing in their lives, and a how-to for finding a fulfilling journey through the Lord's Word.

Made even stronger by Reathel Bean's resonance and genuine connection, Billy Graham's words have authority, compassion, and a groundedness that only a lifetime of humanitarian service could create. During this powerful program the fading tradition of trusting God and accepting His guidance sounds appealing again. Graham says that when we trust in God, we don't have to be alone and we don't have to be controlled by personal tragedies and losses. Graham deeply understands so many realms of life--from family and community to challenges in the broader world arena. He urges us to remember that we are more than sophisticated animals--we have the capacity to find meaning and sustenance in God's love and omnipotence. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
