When you hear the name Billy Graham, do you think first of his leadership? Most of us do not. We recall his preaching to vast crowds in stadiums. We see the gracious television guest, appearing with hosts from Johnny Carson and David Frost to Larry King and Barbara Walters—always responding with gentle wisdom, explaining the gospel, but humbly admitting his own limitations. We remember his leading the nation in dramatic times of grief, or helping inaugurate presidents, but more as national pastor than leader.
I love that the gospel is so simple and real. God loves us so much; it’s as though He has purposed to leave us love notes everywhere! Wherever we open our hearts to see and hear Him, He is there. It’s wonderful to look back over your life and see those hidden messages strategically placed— especially when you haven’t noticed them earlier. I have one such love note I’d like to share with you. When I was growing up, my family had a few movie favorites that we truly enjoyed watching together. My parents just loved Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy movies. Jeanette MacDonald was believed to be a Christian and had a beautiful operatic voice. She sang in all her movies—at least the ones I saw. When her lovely voice was blended with Nelson Eddy’s rich baritone one, the musical match was just heavenly. Click Here To Download The Book
