A WWII veteran at Northwestern Bible College on the GI Bill is recruited by Billy Graham to be his driver during the 1949 Crusade in Los Angeles. There he witnesses firsthand the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at work in the Canvas Cathedral. The conversion of Stuart Hamblen provides the impetus for the extension of the revival from three to eight weeks. During that time, he courts a young lady who works for William Randolph Hearst, and she encourages Hearst to promote Billy Graham. The young lady's roommate becomes involved with a member of the Communist Party, USA, and the wire-tapper Jim Vaus, who also makes a decision for Christ. The amazing story of Billy Graham's rise to international prominence is told through the eyes of this young couple. In spite of their different goals--she wants to be successful in Hollywood, and he wants to enter the ministry--they realize that the Spirit has also worked in their lives to bring them together.

Time is running out. A successor must be in place before megachurch pastor Ernst Edwards dies. He must meet the qualifications delineated by the apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 3. He must also gain the approval of Serenity Edwards, who has been tasked with the choice. Serenity's loyalty to her father compels her acceptance of the task. Her fear that he is playing matchmaker complicates matters, since all four candidates are young and single. InSpire Ministries, already the source of a worldwide revival, could march into the future in four different directions. Daniel Ellicott oversees a thriving missionary outreach in Afghanistan. Michal DeLoran and his Prophet videos dominate the contemporary Christian music scene. Sports evangelist Billy Wilson fills athletic venues with the story of his rescue from addiction to drugs. Benjamin Morris embodies the biblical scholarship that has attracted a worldwide audience to InSpire Ministries in the past. Traveling to interview each candidate on his home turf, Serenity must balance her urgent concern for the future of her father's ministry with the passionate yearnings of her own heart.
