Reviews

"Given the familiarity of the couple, this book could have been predictable. Yet it offers plenty of surprises. Nüesch has made a compelling case that Ruth and Billy's legacy as a couple surpasses even their individual legacies, formidable though they are. Ruth & Billy Graham makes a worthy contribution to our understanding of modern evangelicalism's first family."
