This is an unauthorized story about the early years of Evangelist Billy Graham's ministry. The narrative is ostensibly told in 2001 by his dying friend, Charles (Chuck) Templeton, a Canadian evangelist who preached with Billy Graham in the forties, only to lose his faith, eventually declaring himself agnostic.
After Templeton had suffered his loss of his faith, he challenged Graham to prove the Bible was true and if weren't, to repudiate his ministry. Graham met the challenge on his knees and obviously prevailed.
Although there is a lot of admitted literary license taken in this account, including descriptions of Peretti-style devils and demons, the story encourages believers to meet challenges to their faith head-on.
