I know Graham is the most legendary of the popularized evangelists...

And I don't think he got caught up in any of the sordid scandals that plagued other cats like Falwell... right?

He's leaving behind a fortune. $25 million was his net worth as last year.

Not really all that much for someone in the public eye for 60+ years

Surprised it isn't more, actually.

Did he give generously? No troll.

From what I understand, he has several charities.

I read an article about him endorsing Mitt Romney despite having negative opinions about the Mormon church. They met and afterwards Billy Graham asked for all the negative stuff about the Mormon church to be removed from his website.

Just a cool story IMO about a man that was willing to listen to others he didn't agree with and change his feelings and teachings based off that.

Why did you guys like Billy Graham so much (if you did)?

What made him special?

I think he was a genuine, God-fearing man who did his best to bring others to Christ. He did what he could and used his platform to try and improve others' lives. I think people like that should be admired and thanked.

"Still, Graham's reputation was not without controversy. It was rumored in the 1990s that he had been caught on tape agreeing with anti-Semitic comments made by then-President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. Graham vehemently denied that he had, until the tapes were made public in 2002."

This was probably as bad as it got for him.

He unapologetically taught the Bible, he was a true man of God, and taught the Scripture like it should be taught, unlike other televangelists who are wolves in sheep's clothing seeking donations (like Joel Osteen).

“Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.” - Billy Graham.

An inspiration to millions, finally at home.
