Billy Graham: The Early Years is a new film in the theaters now. It chronicles the early life of this past century's most influential evangelist -- one who is still highly esteemed as the measuring bar for all other ministries. Billy Graham's honesty, integrity and depth of commitment to the central core of the Gospel are hallmarks of his ministry -- not to mention the legions of souls he's won for the Lord. Yes, his reward is great in heaven.
You need to find out where the movie is playing in your area and make a bee line to see it with your friends. The movie industry is, after all, still a business; and if this movie does big business, you can be sure that more movies of this kind will follow. (Although, last I heard the Graham family doesn't endorse this movie, because they were not consulted about it.)
Graham proves that you can be all you can be in the Lord without falling prey to self-induced scandals. It was my great pleasure to see him at perhaps his last crusade at Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, NY, in the Summer of 2005.
By the way, this important Christian leader will be turning 90 on November 7th. You can send him a birthday wish by email here.
Graham had this Saturday (Oct 11, 2008) been released from the hospital after falling over his faithful dog, who follows Graham closely under his feet wherever he goes. Graham suffered some bruising and discomfort, but no broken bones. He's recovering well at home.
