WHERE DO YOU TURN WHEN THE AMERICAN DREAM
FAILS?
Billy Graham Television Special Airs Nationwide March 1-9
CHARLOTTE, Three things defined Bob Coy's life in the 1970s:
sex, drugs and rock n' roll. As a young man with a great job
in the music industry, Coy succumbed to the tempting
influences around him, only to discover that his life still
felt empty.
But when Coy opened a Bible and read about God's love and
forgiveness, he decided to put his faith in Christ and was
never the same. Pursuing happiness had failed him--but
Christ rescued him and changed his life.
Millions of viewers will be inspired by Coy's story and
others on the next Billy Graham TV Special, "America's
Dream: Pursuing Happiness," which airs across the U.S. March
1-9. The program shares the stories of Americans whose
shattered dreams were the first steps to finding lasting joy
in Jesus Christ.
"I needed to be saved from myself," says featured author and
social activist Star Parker, whose life of stealing,
partying and promiscuity was transformed when she
experienced God's love. Other testimonies include those of
Jerry Moore, head football coach of Appalachian State
University, winner of three consecutive national titles; and
professional bull rider Wiley Petersen, winner of the 2007
Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough World Finals.
The TV Special also features a world-premiere music video
from Matthew West, and performances by Grammy-winning rock
band Third Day and singer/ songwriter Michael O'Brien.
