  • Profession: Evangelist, Writer
  • Type: Speaker, Activist
Billy Graham, an American Christian evangelist, was one of the most influential Christian leaders of the 20th century. He conducted over 400 crusades and delivered sermons to 210 million people across more than 185 countries. He has also authored 33 books. Despite his extensive experience and fame, Mr. Graham still humbly admits his limitations: "I have been asked hundreds of times in my life why God allows tragedy and suffering. I have to confess that I really do not know the answer totally, even to my own satisfaction. I have to accept, by faith, that God is sovereign, and He is a God of love and mercy and compassion in the midst of suffering." If a prominent Christian like Billy Graham can still struggle with questions, uncertainties and doubt, maybe there is hope for the rest of us .
