Dr. Graham shares God's gentle reassuring promise of spiritual calm-of authentic spiritual peace-amidst a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many burdens, too great a heart-ache period. Drawing from Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," Dr. Graham addresses such issues as: After Death-What?, Why Jesus Came, What is Faith, Hope for the Future, and Peace at Last. With quiet confidence and surefooted faith, Billy Graham points unerringly toward the One who is the only dependable source of the peace that passes understanding. Both comforting and challenging, this classic explanation of the human predicament and the divine answer has been changing lives for generations.

The headlines scream daily of classroom violence, children selling drugs, gang killings and rampant teenage sex - the natural behavior of a generation that has lost its belief in objective right and wrong. To them, truth is a matter of taste; morality of individual preference. Church leaders and parents are painfully aware that their kids are veering away from biblical values at an alarming rate. This book provides families and the church with a "truth apologetic"--a defense of truth that will enable adults to equip their youth with the ability to resist the erosion of their values and determine what is right from wrong. Right from Wrong offers not a quick fix, but a thorough, biblical and practical blueprint for understanding moral absolutes and passing on core values to the next generation.
