My Alphabetical Biography List: Graham, Franklin - president of Samaritan's Purse

"Rebel With a Cause: Finally Comfortable Being Graham" - Franklin Graham

Living in Billy Graham's shadow would be daunting. From the time Franklin Graham was born he was being compared to his father. It's understandable that he would rebel. In his mid-20s he came back to the faith, though, and by the time he was 28 he was the president of Samaritan's Purse. Through that relief organization, he has made his own mark on the world, going about serving the LORD in his own way.
I found the first third of the book boring. I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood when I read it, or what, but when I had to return it because someone else had it on hold at the library, I wasn't sad - only worried that I wouldn't get back to it. Months later I finally did, and I enjoyed the last two-thirds much more. Maybe it was the timing, maybe it was the fact that he was done rebelling and I was reading about the ways GOD was working through Samaritan's Purse. Either way, I liked the end much better.
