Many Christians who want to impact the world mistakenly assume
that influence belongs only to the ministry front-man-not to the
next tier of leaders and unseen servants. But the life of T. W.
Wilson proves otherwise. As Billy Graham's closest friend and
longtime personal assistant, T. W. Wilson turned his own valuable
leadership skills to the task of supporting Billy and ended up
influencing thousands of lives both directly and indirectly. His
life is an inspiring testimony to the power of "next-level"
servanthood to maximize the power of the church for the
twenty-first century.
Filled with interviews and stories from many of Billy Graham's
associates and eight pages of photographs, this book offers a
fascinating look inside the most successful evangelistic ministry
of modern times as well as an inspiring blueprint for purposeful
servant-leadership.
He was the man behind the man. A true servant. A next-level
leader.
When longtime friend T. W. Wilson accepted the invitation to be
Billy Graham's personal assistant, he had no idea how God would use
him. But as he followed God's call, T. W. became the right-hand man
whose wise counsel and dedicated service allowed Billy Graham's
ministry to flourish. T. W. Wilson went on to greatly impact the
world with his humble, purposeful servanthood.
Discover the meaning, the purpose, and the kingdom calling of true
biblical servanthood through the example of T. W. Wilson. Filled
with interviews and stories from many of Billy Graham's associates,
plus eight pages of photographs, this book offers a fascinating
look inside the most successful evangelistic ministry of modern
times, as well as an inspiring blueprint for purposeful
servant-leadership.
