The Journey: How to Live By Faith in an Uncertain World, by Billy Graham, will be in bookstores March 7.

"The book begins where a crusade leaves off. It's about being a Christian, not becoming one," says Graham's spokesman, A. Larry Ross. "It's his legacy, encapsulating the essence of his sermons, writings and recordings on what it means to be a follower of Christ."

There's no news in The Journey but the Good News, the translation of "Gospel." There are no bloggable bits where he slams people or pounds political views. He writes about, but never names, a "well-known Christian leader" with an impressive "zeal for truth" who was missing "a love for others (especially those who disagreed with him)."

The book's four parts focus on the basic elements of the Christian life: discovering God's love, building strength, facing challenges and finally, family life, aging and death.
