The Call of the World takes us on an unprecedented behind-the-scenes tour of defining moments in recent global history. Bill Graham – Canada’s minister of foreign affairs and then its minister of defence in the tumultuous years following 9/11 – is an insightful and wryly humorous guide, steering readers through an astonishing array of national and international events, explaining important geopolitical relationships, and revealing the human side of global affairs through his deft portraits of world leaders. An engaging storyteller, Graham offers personal reflections as well as a riveting account of his years in office. He recalls his fortunate childhood in Vancouver and reflects on his time working as an international lawyer in Paris, as a backbencher in Ottawa, and as a cabinet minister during the Chrétien-Martin years. While his political career took him around the world, he remained a devoted champion of his constituents in his riding of Toronto Centre. During his time as a member of Parliament, Graham was a passionate promoter of bilingualism and an early advocate for gay and lesbian rights. He is perhaps best known, though, for his role in keeping Canada out of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, for his work in rebuilding the Canadian Armed Forces, and for stepping up as interim leader of the Liberal Party following Paul Martin’s resignation. Many of the issues tackled in The Call of the World remain as immediate as today’s headlines. Graham demystifies globalization, free trade, human rights, peacekeeping, and multilateralism. All the while, he offers a bold appraisal of Canada’s current role on the global stage and makes a case for why international law offers the best hope for a safer, more prosperous, and just world.
America's most respected and admired evangelical leader for the past half-century, Billy Graham, is a man of strong beliefs and exceptional moral character. He has commanded the ear of presidents and world leaders and has been awarded the highest civilian honor our nation can bestow: the Congressional Gold Medal. From simple beginnings, he rose to international prominence by spreading his simple message of hope, faith and truth to millions and by practicing the charity and love he so eloquently preaches. This is the life of a truly remarkable individual, and inspiring true story of conviction and accomplishment told through the words and deeds of a man who has selflessly devoted himself to God and to the betterment of all humanity.
The Gaither Homecoming videos have reintroduced the power of hymns and gospel music to millions around the world. In fact, more Homecoming videos were distributed in the year 2000 than any other product in the world. Now the Gaithers have created their most special video yet-teaming up with Billy Graham to celebrate the songs that have surrounded his crusades throughout more than fifty years. This moving tribute has been captured in a keepsake gift book that will be released at the same time as the video. Filled with quotes and remembrances from Billy and Ruth Graham, Bill and Gloria Gaither, George Beverly Shea, Cliff Barrows, Jake Hess, Michael W. Smith, Andrea Crouch, Ray Boltz, and many others, this book will hold a special place in the hearts of all Homecoming and Billy Graham fans.
