2. One of Graham's roommates says spreading the gospel is just like selling Fuller brushes. What do you make of that analogy? Is preaching another form of salesmanship? Is it more? Always or only sometimes? Why or why not?
3. Several people—including Bob Jones and a woman who refuses to date Billy—tell Graham that he won't amount to anything. Do you think they could have been proven wrong even if Graham had not become famous in the end? If so, how?
4. What do you make of the debate between Graham and Templeton over the infallibility of the Bible and the existence of God? Do you think they should have discussed those issues before going into ministry? How do you know when you're ready enough, or secure enough in your beliefs, to minister to others?

The Family Corner

Billy: The Early Years is rated PG for thematic material (discussions of faith and doubt, etc.) including some disturbing images (such as graphic footage of the Holocaust, and a bloodied child being wheeled down a hospital corridor), brief language (a "damn" or two) and smoking.
