Billy Grahams weltumspannender evangelistischer Dienst wäre ohne seine Ehefrau Ruth nicht möglich gewesen. Sie erweiterte seinen Horizont und war seine weise Ratgeberin. Hanspeter Nüesch leuchtet in seinem gut recherchierten Buch hinter die Kulissen eines Ehepaares, das wie kein anderes für Integrität steht. Der Autor hat Billy Graham mehrmals zu Hause besucht, zuletzt Ende 2012. Das Buch findet in mehreren Ländern als Studienbuch in der Leiterschaftsausbildung Verwendung. Es beschreibt Werte und Dienstprinzipien, die von allgemeiner Gültigkeit sind.
