Ruth Graham: A 'beacon of spiritual truth'

The Asheville Citizen-Times has a wonderful spread on the passing of Ruth Bell Graham.

"Spiritual. Sensitive. Devoted. Loving. Funny.

"When talking about Ruth Bell Graham, who died Thursday at 87, the list of adjectives could go on and on," says the newspaper. "But it wouldn’t be complete without the word 'tough.' ...

"While she may be best known as the wife of world-famous evangelist Billy Graham, Ruth Graham, who was born June 10, 1920, more than made her own mark as an author, poet and beacon of spiritual strength.

" 'My wife Ruth was the person to whom I would go for spiritual guidance,' Billy Graham said Thursday, after his wife’s death. 'She was the only one in whom I completely confided. She was a great student of the Word of God. Her life was ruled by the Bible more than any individual I have ever known.'
