Just what the doctor ordered

by Walter L. Wilson (1988)

About this book

"Can you tell us how to be saved?" "Yes, that is my principal business in life." Such was the philosophy of Walter Lewis Wilson, medical doctor, salesman, businessman, and preacher, but most of all, soulwinner extraordinaire. Whatever activity was occupying him at the moment, he was always seeking a lost soul whom God had prepared to receive the gospel. With his remarkable talent for turning every situation, however unlikely, into an opportunity, he helped lead multitudes of people from all walks of life to know the Saviour. Dr. Wilson, who died in 1969, recorded many of his remarkable experiences in a series of books to instruct and inspire others in the great work of spreading the gospel. They were like fascinating textbooks on soulwinning, showing by example how compassion, imagination, and hard work under the guidance of the Holy Spirit are the keys to effective witnessing for the Lord in everyday life. Just What the Doctor Ordered is an anthology of over thirty of those soulwinning stories for the benefit of a new generation. - Back cover.

Just As I Am

Billy Graham

Hailed as "the world's preacher," Billy Graham has enjoyed a career that has spanned six decades and his ministry of faith has touched the hearts and souls of millions. In Just As I Am Graham reveals his life story in what the Chicago Tribune calls "a disarmingly honest autobiography." Now, in this revised and updated edition, we hear from this "lion in winter" (Time) on his role over the past ten years as America's pastor during our national crisis of the Oklahoma bombing and 9/11; his knighthood; his passing of the torch to his son, Franklin, to head the organization that bears his name; and his commitment to do the Lord's work in the years of his and his wife Ruth's physical decline. - Publisher.

Grady Wilson

This book, Count It All Joy, covers more than fifty years of my life and ministry for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Only Cliff Barrows and George Shea preceded me as Billy Graham's evangelistic team members. Some might comment that I have tried to write a biography of Billy instead of myself, which is not the case. But it still remains that my service for Christ cannot be understood apart from my friendship with Billy. My oldest brother, T.W., and I have known Billy for a half-century. That's a long, long time. Here is my feeble attempt to chronicle that journey from my teen years in Charlotte to the present. I have included so much about Billy because my life has intertwined and meshed with his. From 1947, when Billy, Cliff, Bev, and I conducted a meeting in Charlotte, we have had a virtually unbroken relationship. Admittedly, during the last fifteen years I have conducted more and more of my own crusades and have participated in fewer of Billy's. - Preface.
