The special edition is a biographical tribute, describing Graham’s childhood on a farm in the Roaring Twenties and as an adolescence in the Great Depression, through finding his calling to become a preacher, and his eventual rise to massive Evangelical crusader. The issue includes a timeline of the milestones in Graham’s life, an archival 1954 TIME cover story, and a chronicle of Graham’s relationships with sitting presidents through the years.
