From the back cover:

This document in sound is a memento of what has been called the most significant event in the spiritual life of New Zealand - the Billy Graham Crusades of 1959 - which, in just 11 days, attracted a total attendance equalling 20 per cent. of the nation's population.

The Right Honorable Walter Nash, Prime Minister of New Zealand, paid his tribute to Dr. Billy Graham's ministry ... "I was most impressed by the way in which he expoinded his faith and inspired thousands of his listeners to pledge themselves to follow his lead . Dr. Graham has helped tens of thousands of hearers in New Zealand to recognise their way of life".

In addition to choral items actually recorded during the Crusades in Auckland and Christchurch, this disc contains a series of special messages addressed to the people of New Zealand by the Crusade evangelists. Dr. Billy Graham, Rev. Grady Wilson, Rev. Leighton Ford and Rev. Joseph Blinco.

Piano accompaniment by Tedd Smith courtesy of RCA Victor.
