Graham-isms: Thoughts That Almost Crossed My Mind

Dr. Graham began preaching in 1952 during his student days in college and seminary. After graduation from seminary he served a pastorate at the Memorial Christian Church in Atlanta Georgia. When he joined the faculty at Berea College Berea Kentucky he assumed added responsibilities as coordinator of religious activities. He also became minister of the Kirksville Christian Church in 1962. Following his ministry at Berea College in 1970 he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Lexington Theological Seminary in 1971 while continuing his ministry at the Kirksville church. In addition he started a business in Berea to promote Appalachian arts and crafts which he maintained for thirty-nine years.Throughout the years Dr. Graham has coined sayings that students faculty friends and patrons of his local business found amusing and inspirational. He made these sayings available in a variety of ways including bookmarks which he sold in his shop. Many customers suggested he put them in a book and now Graham-isms his first book captures this collection for random reading. At eighty-three Dr. Graham has no intention of retiring choosing to remain active in ministry wherever it takes him. His mantra is All things that work for good are a ministry and a sacred calling.
