The Evangelist Billy Graham turns 90 next month, and in this final chapter of his life, a number of laudatory books and movies are scheduled for release. One of these, a biopic called “Billy: The Early Years,” arrives in theaters this week, and if the present family skirmish triggered by the movie is any sign of things to come, Graham’s grown children still need to fine-tune their public-relations strategy.

lisa…
just read your article on billy’s legacy.
i am working with Ruth (Bunny) on the transformation of her ministry. one thing that would be helpful, she really doesn’t like “Bunny”, except from her father. Her name is Ruth Bell Graham.
beside that, i could probably get you an interview. feel free to contact me. i don’t think your family related comments are far from the mark. i would like to see Ruth’s story/ministry get a touch more exposure.
