AT BOTH BILLY GRAHAM says BATTLE CREEK BIBLE CHURCH about the new motion picture "Time to There is no doubt that today we see the family unit being attacked from every side, torn apart and fragmented. TIME TO RUN is a motion picture about a family, about listening, about the silences between people, the unspoken moments, and the moments of anger that don't really accomplish anything.

TIME TO RUN openly offers the reality of Jesus Christ as an answer to the human dilemma. I feel that thousands of people will see a part of themselves in the film. Hopefully, families seeing it will be brought closer together in real understanding and communication. I urge you to take your children or your parents to see TIME TO RUN when it comes to your community. You may find it more of a mirror than a motion picture! Billy Graham 1 Mile So.
