W. became the right-hand man whose wise counsel and dedicated service allowed Billy Graham's ministry to flourish. T. W. Wilson went on to greatly impact the world with his humble, purposeful servanthood.

Discover the meaning, the purpose, and the kingdom calling of true biblical servanthood through the example of T. W. Wilson. Filled with interviews and stories from many of Billy Graham's associates, plus eight pages of photographs, this book offers a fascinating look inside the most successful evangelistic ministry of modern times, as well as an inspiring blueprint for purposeful servant-leadership.

"It is a privilege for me to recommend the new book by Jay Dennis, In the Shadow of Billy Graham: The Next-Level Leadership of T. W. Wilson. Having known T. W. Wilson for over forty years, I find the stories and accounts of his relationship with Billy Graham and others to be stimulating and inspiring. The application which Jay Dennis has given to 'next level leadership' is very effective. It is a must read for every minister. Those who have known the Graham team and T. W. will find it especially meaningful. Everyone will benefit from the leadership lessons that are revealed. I highly encourage everyone to take advantage of this excellent book."--James T. Draper, Jr., president and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources

"T. W. Wilson played a significant role in many ministries, one of them Campus Crusade for Christ. As close associate of Billy Graham, he was able to give advice and impart wisdom in needful situations. Though he was totally committed and loyal to Dr. Graham, he was a Christian statesman without promoting himself as one. Mary Helen, his wife, and children Jim and Sally are to be commended for their willingness to share T. W. with the world. He was an encourager and faithful in prayer for us and many others. He loved us, and Bill and I truly loved T.W. He was such a special friend to us. I want and I know that Bill would have wanted, the world to hear the story of this great man."-Vonnette Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ
