...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 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 in June 2007 and knowing that he will one day join her in heaven is something that everyone should come to understand, as well as the true love and devotion expressed by him.
