Africa -Concept or reality- is an acknowledged continent of extremes and,by the same token,it is hardly surprising that it draws extreme reactions…The increasingly accepted common ground,both for the negativists and optimists,is the admission that the African continent does not exist in isolation,nor has it stood still in a time warp,independent of history. For Many,Africa is more a concept than a bounded space- which means in turn:more concepts than simply one.It is at once part wish-fulfillment and part reality,part projection and part historical distillation,part fiction and part memory.It is of course,generally acknowledged as a warehouse of yet untapped natural resources.Even as Africa exists as a desire for some,so does it constitute a nightmare from which others pray to be awakened…

An updated account of the inspiring and influential life of Dr. Billy Graham When the hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, President Bush immediately proclaimed a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. For the interfaith, interdenominational service at the Washington National Cathedral he chose Billy Graham to give the address. At that terrible hour no other clergyman, whatever his office, could so aptly bring the Word of God to America?and a watching world. At eighty-four, Billy Graham remains one of the most respected people in the world today. He has addressed over eighty-two million people face to face and at least one billion people through television, radio, and satellite. Yet he is far more than an evangelist of integrity and vision; he is a Christian statesman whose profound influence on the growth and depth of Christianity across the world cannot be overestimated. This official biography of Dr. Graham is based on his private files, correspondence, and interviews, as well as the author?s widespread research. ? Written by John Pollock, Dr. Graham?s official biographer.
