Carole Joy Seid joined us again on the podcast to tell the story of Ruth Bell Graham. Ruth grew up in China where her parents were missionaries and attended boarding school there. When Ruth came to the United States as a teenager, her prior experiences had helped to shape her into an intelligent, strong, determined woman. After Ruth met and married Billy, she became his trusted confidant as he traveled the world evangelizing and she herself wrote many books worth treasuring. Ruth is a remarkable woman from history and we are excited to share her story with you!
