The Unelected Statesman Synopsis
Billy Graham was a man known worldwide for his southern charm, unmistakable voice and most importantly to him, his love and devotion to Jesus Christ. Lesser known, however, is his role as a statesman of the United States. Despite never holding public office, Graham comforted the nation in some of its darkest hours, spread its causes and principles to all corners of the globe, and counseled every president from Harry Truman to George W. Bush. This is the story of the unelected statesman.
