Summary: The Dangerous Word
Review: Franklin Graham does not mince words. This book outlines in great detail the reasons that "demons scream and flail around when they hear the Name of Jesus." He does not make terms with those who insist that we share the same God with other religions. There is no compromise with those who would water down the Christian Creed.

Summary: Political Correctness Could Kill Us All!
Review: Franklin Graham has given us a great book here, a truthful one, one that every American should read whatever their faith. If anything he was too kind. Radical Islam is out to destroy Christianity and Judaism, make no mistake about it. The Koran, which yes I have read, calls for the death of all Jews and unbelievers in Allah 126 times. It is explicit, so don't believe the lies of those who say "well the Old Testament" had some harsh things. Nothing like that. Jihad is called for. Radical Moslems in Pakistan (an ally) are killing Christians now. Arab Christians suffer great persecution. I am thankful that most Moslems are peaceful and like many Christians have not really read or followed their holy book. Thank you Mr. Graham. By the way, I am being anonymous for the first time as I don't want some radical targeting my loved ones, family and friends. We are all in danger here.

Summary: Political Correctness or Christianity?
Review: Franklin Graham in this outstanding work provides a prophetic wake-up call to the church of the 21st century. Drawing upon the recent Columbine tragedy and the very recent terrorist attacks, the author asserts that more spiritual guidance is needed than mere references to a generic God. He encourages Christians to pray and to speak as Christians, boldly calling upon the name of Jesus Christ.Graham does not bash other religions -- he does bash the tendency of American society today to be tolerant towards all religions EXCEPT Christianity. He also insightfully states that the framework for our current tolerance of various beliefs is founded upon a Christian value system. He describes the lack of tolerance and freedom of religion in countries that have another religion's value system as a basis instead of Christianity. Graham in this book is right on target. This work should be read by every Christian pastor, leader and teacher. The Church needs to realize that the Name of Jesus Christ is not to be avoided, but affirmed. To do otherwise would deny the very heart of the Christian faith. As a Christian response to the politically correct religious climate that has arisen since 9/11, this book is second-to-none.

Summary: it's significant to our personal lives and our culture
Review: Franklin Graham lends insight to the significance of the name of Jesus. Not only in it's literal meaning as related to His work, but its significance to our personal lives and our culture. We also recommend [ THE PRAYER OF HANNAH ] by Kenn Gividen

Summary: Self Deluded
Review: Graham writes "the God of Islam is not the God of the Christian faith". Oh really? Graham has obviously not read the Christian Bible. The Name is Graham's attempt to give himself a aura of legitimacy. Most of the book is devoted to describing his recent "great moments". Graham Jr. has some big shoes to fill and this book and his inflamatory public statements proves he hasn't a clue how to do it.

Summary: This book should be entitled "The Graham Name"
Review: I really, really wanted to like this book. I was looking for a deeper understanding of the Name Above All Names - of Jesus. The role of a name in the Hebrew culture, the power inherent in Jesus, an exploration of the name God gives (Revelation 2:17). If you are looking for anecdotal stories of Franklin Graham's public appearances (Bush inauguration, Columbine memorial) or his public ministry, Samaritan's Purse, you may be satisfied with the book. I think Billy Graham is the finest evangelist of our generation and can't wait to see him when we all get home with the thousands of thousands he has touched for the kingdom of God. I applaud his heart for God, his ministry, his family, and his son. But this particular book didn't meet my expectations. I was hoping for more of Jesus.

Summary: Wholesome, truthful, experiences about just the Name
Review: I used to work for Samaritan's Purse and for Mr. Graham and that was the only reason I picked up this book. I have a hard time reading books but I could not put this one down. If you go into this book with the idea that you will come out with a holy revelation your wrong. It is a book about Mr. Graham's experiences, and his struggles with worldly views about using the name of Jesus. One review on here said that Mr. Graham was wrong about the Islam vs. Christianity issue, but Mr Graham is correct. This is also a book that shows there is much hope in Jesus just by his Holy name. If you want something good to read pick this book, but make sure you enter into it with the right mind.

Summary: One inaccuracy I'd like to point out
Review: I'll let others review the book as a whole. My interest is in one comment Franklin Graham makes in the book.
At one point, he compares Christianity to other religions. I don't necessarily have problem with that, but the way he does it bothers me. He mentions Buddhism, stating on page 76. "At the end of his life, it is quoted that Buddha apparently said he was still looking for truth. Christ, on the other hand, declared, 'I am the...truth'." I had heard similar quotes from other evangelists in books and radio speeches. Unfortunately, I have never been able to figure out where they get the quote. I haven't been able to find it in Buddhist texts.
I emailed the publisher of the book, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association responded with this: "I have attempted to research our database, but we could not find a source for this quote. This may have been something that Franklin has heard over the years. I have sent your email to Samaritan's Purse. Perhaps they will be able to offer more assistance."
Samaritan's Purse responded with this: "We have been unable to trace the origin of the comment that Buddha died while still searching. We attempted a detailed search on the Internet, but found no specific statement that woudl clarify that matter." (sic)
I wonder how Franklin Graham and this book's publishers would feel if a non-Christian writer were to dismiss Christianity with a single paragraph and a quote for which they have no source.

Summary: Wholesome, truthful, experiences about just the Name
Review: I'm not even finished with this book and I'm telling anyone I can find about it. I watched Franklin Graham at the inaugural for President Bush, and rejoiced in his prayers in the name of Jesus Christ. This book is about the passion that is stirred in people, some joy, some anger, at the mention of His name. It is a book that inspires the believer to never compromise the biblical truth that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, but also reminds us that we each must choose whether to believe that or not. I am grateful to Franklin Graham for this book that has touched my heart, confirmed my faith, and challenged me to always stand on God's word in truth and love.
