Thomas Nelson, Inc., announced that in October 2011, world-renowned preacher, evangelist, and author Billy Graham will release his first major trade book in more than five years: Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well.
In the book, Billy Graham shares his personal experience of growing older, but also teaches lessons on how to view our time here on Earth. He says that the Bible makes it clear that God has a specific reason for keeping us here. So what is His purpose for these years, and how can we align our lives with it? How can we not only learn to cope with the fears and struggles and growing limitations we face but actually grow stronger inwardly in the midst of these difficulties?

Robert Vandervort, who operates a Christian bookstore in Allentown, Michigan, summed up the the financial situation that many local Christian bookstores face. He told Karen Dubis of the Detroit News, “This is a challenging time for Christian stores. Sam’s Club (a Wal-Mart division) carries some Bibles we carry, but they can sell them cheaper than we can buy them from our suppliers.”
