In mid-June Billy Graham preached for three days in New York. At first this was regarded as his last stadium appearance, but family and friends are not so sure. Graham, 86, is in declining health. In addition to having Parkinson’s disease, he broke his hip last year and was forced to postpone two crusades planned for the summer of 2004.<\/p>\n

“It’s his eighth ‘last crusade’!” said his long-time friend Cliff Barrows, “Billy doesn’t find the word ‘retirement’ in the Bible, and he’s going to preach as long as the Lord gives him strength,”<\/p>\n

Graham’s eldest daughter, Gigi Graham Tchividjian, added: “At this point I think a lot depends on his health. I was with him in Kansas City, and just before he got up on the platform he was very weak and could hardly speak. Then he stood up in that pulpit, and he was like a different man.”<\/p>\n

Gigi Graham Tchividjian’s son, W. Tullian Tchividjian, is the senior minister of New City Presbyterian Church, Coconut Creek, Florida. He is married to Kim and they have three daughters. He is the author of a new Banner of Truth booklet, “The Kingdom of God: A Primer on the Christian Life” (43 pp.). Richard Pratt, professor of Old Testament at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, says that it penetrates to the heart of Christ’s teaching on the kingdom of God and presents profound insights into many practical implications for every believer who desires to serve our great King.”<\/p>\n
