A new book on Ruth and Billy Graham contains many lessons today’s Christians can learn from the couple.
“There were so many books – several hundred – on the ministry and life of Billy Graham, but a real biography of the couple I could not find,” Hanspeter Nuesch, 30-year director of Campus Crusade for Christ in Switzerland, told The Christian Post in an interview on Thursday. Nuesch explained that “Ruth played an important role in his ministry – she was his life partner in everything.” His new book, Ruth and Billy Graham: The Legacy of a Couple, was released last month.
Nuesch laid out five key lessons Ruth, who died in 2007, and Billy Graham, 95, taught with their lives. He suggested modern Christians apply these lessons to their lives today.
1. Humility
Nuesch, who has spent time with the couple in person, explained that Billy “is so modest, always humble, he always gives glory to other people or to the Lord. He never speaks about himself highly.” Both Ruth and Billy looked beyond worldly fame and never boasted of meeting important people, instead focusing on serving the Lord in their interactions with others.
