Nearing Home

New York Times best-seller and 2012 ECPA Book of the Year.

Join Billy Graham as he reflects upon his life, recounts God's many gifts, and shares the challenges of fading bodily strength while still standing strong in his commitment to finish life well.

Nearing Home—written by Reverend Billy Graham in his nineties—is a deeply personal memoir that explores how our strength can continually be found in the foundational truths of Scripture and inexhaustible love of Christ, despite the many trials of aging and the approaching end of our earthly time.

Within these compassionate and restorative pages, you're invited to journey with Graham as he:

Considers the golden years and the impact of the Gospel hope on his life.Encourages you to finish strong and keep the faith.Recounts the Bible's foundational truths, including death's ultimate defeat.Anticipates the hope of being reunited with loved ones in his heavenly home and finally seeing Christ face-to-face. 

"Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God's point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day." – BILLY GRAHAM

Billy Graham

Billy Graham (1918–2018), world-renowned preacher, evangelist, and author, delivered the Gospel message to more people face-to-face than anyone in history and ministered on every continent of the world in almost 200 countries and territories. His ministry extended far beyond stadiums and arenas, utilizing radio, television, film, print media, wireless communications, and thirty-three books, all that still carry the Good News of God's redemptive love for mankind. Engraved on a simple fieldstone in the Memorial Prayer Garden where he is buried at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, these words exemplify how the man and the minister wished to be remembered: "Preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."
