The Legacy of Billy Graham

These were some of the headlines of news releases yesterday: From U.S. News: “Billy Graham, America’s pastor, has died”; From CNN: “Billy Graham, whose ‘matchless voice changed the lives of millions,’ dies at 99; NBC News: “Billy Graham, evangelist, pastor and counselor to presidents, dead at age 99”.
