Thomas Road hosted an early screening of the new Billy Graham movie (and our very own Bryson from FF has a cameo in it). Here's the movie's website: http://www.billytheearlyyears.com/

Does anyone who has seen it want to offer a review or just a few comments about it?

My favorite part was when Bob Jones, Sr. told Billy that he would never amount to anything. I had heard that story since my own college years, but was even better to see it acted out with Dr. Bob shaking his finger at a young, questioning Billy Graham.

My step-grandmother was there tonight but I didn't get a review yet.

I'm curious to hear about the production quality.

I think it is a powerful movie that can really bring a lot of people to Christ. Hopefully the local churches will push it like they did the passion.

the Bob Jones scene was definitely my favorite in the whole movie. He told him he had made all the mistakes so the students didn't have to, and the students didn't need to learn any doctrine besides the bob jones doctrine. I was laughing the whole time
