Author Jerry Jenkins for the 'Remembering Billy Graham Special' - The Tami Jackson Show

Jerry Jenkins has been steeped in the craft of writing for more than 40 years. With 21 New York Times bestsellers (seven debuting at #1), 186 books, and over 70 million copies sold, he has become one of the most commercially successful writers of our time. "Left Behind was my 125th book — but not a lot of people realize that." Jerry wrote that 16-title culture-shifting series for Dr. Tim LaHaye, and the publishing world now refers to it as "the Left Behind phenomenon." Several books in the series hit the New York Times bestseller list, selling over 62 million copies. Jerry has seen unprecedented success in both fiction and nonfiction. His insatiable pursuit of great stories has led him to achievement as a biographer to icons such as Hank Aaron, Orel Hershiser, Walter Payton, Meadowlark Lemon, Nolan Ryan, Mike Singletary, B.J. Thomas, and many other men and women. Jenkins assisted Dr. Billy Graham with his memoir, Just As I Am, also a New York Times bestseller. Jerry spent 13 months working with Dr. Graham, and considers the project the privilege of a lifetime. And that project with Billy Graham makes Jerry the perfect guest for my special tonight: "Remembering Billy Graham." We'll talk about segments from the book -- many of which are uncannily pertinent to today's current events and political situations. Listen in as Jerry recounts his time with "America's Pastor" and as we talk about Billy's tremendous impact on America and the world. Some people leave legacies in sports or politics that are talked about for decades or even centuries. Dr. Billy Graham left a legacy which will echo throughout eternity! Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot; To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
