I don't know much about the library other than the fact that I heard he did not one dedicated to him. All I can say is God bless Billy Graham. Here is a man who practiced what he preached and restored some intergrity to Christian evangalism. Here is a man who spoke to heads of state and provided encouragement to them and prayed for them without becoming intermingled in the affairs of the dirty world of politics. We could all learn alot from him. Really I don't see how anyone can speak a bad word about him other than the fact that they hate his God.

Whatever sins he did have it seems he must have left them at the foot of the cross rather than habitually wollowing in them.

Originally posted by kirksey957LOL. Yes, I believe his son was the one pushing the library down his throat, so to speak. Billy simply did not want all the attention focused on himself, rather, he wanted the focus on his God only. I heard he finally consented once his son agreed that the library would be dedicated for his ministry and not merely for himself.
I wish he were healthy enough to kick his son's ass.

Originally posted by whodeyI'm not sure why it is that TV evangelists sons feels such an obligation to follow in the footsteps of daddy. You see it with Jimmy Swaggert, Robert Schuler, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, John Hagge, and countless others.

Originally posted by kirksey957I don't think it is simply because they are successful evangelists, rather, I think it only natural for most sons to want to follow in the footsteps of their fathers in whom they have looked up to their whole livese and especially if those fathers have been successful in their professional careers.
