THE MOST FAMOUS evangelist since the apostle Paul, Billy Graham spoke live to more than 215 million people in 185 countries over the course of more than 60 years. Throughout that time, Graham's words remained strong and clear. "The Gospel has never changed," he said. "I have never changed my message. I preach the Bible, and I preach it with authority." In His Own Words is a collection of inspirational quotes, stories, and Scriptures drawn from Graham's life and legacy and features topics such as walking humbly before God, living as a Christian, preparing for heaven, and finishing life's race well. And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

--1 Corinthians 2:1-2.
