TIME Billy Graham: America’s Preacher, 1918–2018

More than simply the most important American minister of the 20th century, Billy Graham was a world leader who changed the way the Word was spread. This TIME Commemorative Edition – Billy Graham: America’s Preacher, traces Graham from his rural roots in North Carolina through his schooling, his marriage, his fatherhood and his ascension to global influence through the spiritual crusades that drew so many thousands of people across the nation and the world. A beautifully told narrative is augmented by rare and powerful images in a keepsake that explores an extraordinary life, including Graham's 64-year commitment to his adored wife Ruth, and the many people he reached and helped to guide.

Plus: A special exploration of Graham’s relationships with U.S. Presidents from Truman to Reagan to Obama, and how he recalls his friendships with the men in the oval office.
