Walked into my house a junior in high school after some partying (1970) and my parents were watching a Billy Graham crusade on TV. The Holy Spirit captured my attention for a few moments that I think played a role in my coming to Christ. I also heard him speak at Explo 72. Somehow by God's grace he was preserved from the things that stumbled many famous preachers. I just read where he never was in the company alone with women, that he took a salary from his board, his finances and organization was totally open, and that he used turnstile numbers to estimate attendance. Don't know if he ever referred to himself as a god-man, but I think he was.
