What a tribute to Billy Graham by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy [Aug 20]. I enjoyed the article immensely--to the point that I had to go over it a second time. I have always thought of Graham as one of the most outstanding and gifted spiritual leaders in the world. His sermons have always been uplifting and meaningful in my personal life. The article certainly portrayed a man with great spiritual faith in God and love for all mankind. Graham's comments in the sidebar "On Life and Loss" were exceptional. The significance of his loss of Ruth...
...Like the evangelist's message, the cover image was timeless. Many bloggers have opined about whether it was coincidence or conspiracy behind the "devil's horns" they saw on Graham's head, but the way I see it, the editors chose to superimpose the powerful image of America's pastor at prayer over the magazine's logo to reflect that the Good News he preaches is outside the confines of TIME - both the magazine and the dimension.

It is with this love, belief and acceptance of Jesus as his Saviour that he will be led to his eternal home and back to his precious Ruth. Thank you, Rev. Graham, for being our modernday Paul and fighting the good fight...
...appalled that several presidents have found comfort in the shallow religiosity of Graham. I hope they associated with him only for political reasons and were too wise to take him seriously. The fact that Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman kept him at a distance increases my regard for them. Time observes that Graham "has shaped the contours of American public religion." If that is so, then I weep. M.D. Fisher, Cashmere, Queensland...
