Archie IsibPhAge: 18-24Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5great to readJune 17, 2012Archie IsibPhAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4Billy Graham finds in each of his life's experiences, his clarity of vision, and his ability to poignantly and keenly express what he has seen and learned.e regrets not spending more time studying and thinking but this book is a gift for those who wish to understand loneliness and human failings of our leaders.admitting he is not perfect but he has lived a life dedicated to service to others and planting the seeds of faith... is Christlike!
A must read if you are a Christian or an unbeliever who may be interested in just what this Christlike life is all about.Billy Graham has deviated from this tradition by seeking first to unify those with whom he comes into contact.It isn't a book that kept me on the edge of my seat, but it explains so much that I find myself going back to it time and moment. They are the only reason I am here today. God Bless you Billy Graham for writeing this book. -
That One Girl5 Stars Out Of 5December 7, 2011That One GirlQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5I love Billy Graham, and have felt that way as long as I can remember, so I expected to love this book. Even with my expectations that high at the outset, I was pleasantly surprised by many aspects of the book. I didn't expect it to be written in a down-to-earth conversational tone, as though he were sitting in an easy chair talking to me alone. The advice is so practical. I found the book to be an absolutely delightful read. It is filled with hope and peace for anyone who is elderly, or has elderly loved ones. I think Mr. Graham does an excellent job of showing all readers how to take stock of their life in Christ and make changes if necessary.
Each chapter is filled with Scripture addresses that illustrate the points being made, so the book is an excellent springboard to further study as well. Mr. Graham describes so many of the common complaints of the elderly, and then explains how those are blessings in disguise, such as the eyesight becoming dim. I loved this passage, "I often wonder if God, in His sovereignty, allows the eyesight of the aged to cast a dim view of the here and now so that we may focus our spiritual eyes on the ever after." He recounts many of God's faithful who were called to service in their old age, and gives a multitude of God's promises of hope for those who are older.
This is a short book, written with simplicity, filled with scripture illustrations and quotes. The reader is left with the sweet peace of knowing the prize God has in store for those who run the race well. "For those who have received the most precious gift of Christ's redeeming blood...you have reason to look forward to the glories of Heaven, for you will be perfected, you will be joyful, you will once again be active, and right now you can be certain that you are nearing home." This book would be a terrific gift for older people, or those who care for them. As a very thoughtful touch, the print is larger than usual and the lines are double spaced, so those with difficulty reading the average book, will probably find this one readable.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. -
Angel5 Stars Out Of 5Peace, wisdom, and joy.November 16, 2011AngelQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We the people are in great need of this dear man's encouragement. Since 9/11 I have prayed for God to not take Billy. He is an example to us all, of Gods nearness. We,
America ....have lost our way. Just having the book cover picture gives us hope, kinda like our flag is still there!
That's Billy Graham, no matter what he said in his book, He is still with us representing our true God. And his words are wise and comforting. -
DKnb25 Stars Out Of 5Nearing HomeJanuary 5, 2017DKnb2Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I ordered 3 copies of Billy Grahams latest book, Nearing Home - one for myself and two as gifts. I am halfway through reading my copy and am glad I gave the 2 as gifts. It's easy reading but with the wisdom that only Mr. Graham can impart in such a simple manner, without being preachy. Straight from the heart of one who has walked with the Lord longer than most of us, he shares what it is like to get older and not be able to do all that we want to, but he is the ultimate encourager to stand strong... It's an excellent book! I Highly recommend it.
