********************** A Vow
to Cherish **********************
A movie was created based on this
true story. Below is some information about this movie called "A
Vow to Cherish!"
John Brighton (Howard) and his wife Ellen (Babcock) are faced with a
merciless illness that will either confirm their love or destroy their
marriage. Careers and family are thrown into a tailspin as life becomes
more and more desperate.
Pulled in all directions by a selfish brother (Morin), a new jogging
partner (Bullock) and a spiritual mentor (Davis), John must search his
soul for the true meaning of commitment and the vows he made so many
years ago.
"One of the most compelling films I have ever seen. People everywhere
will be touched by its realistic story of heartache, hope and faith. I
pray this unique and masterfully-done film will bring people to Jesus
Christ." --Billy Graham
"No motion picture could ever define the power behind the Billy
Graham ministry more effectively. I have not been so moved by any movie,
maybe ever. Not just entertainment." --Paul Harvey
"Reminds us of the significance of those wedding day promises. This
gem of a movie sends a message that can last a lifetime." --Janet
Parshall, National Advocate, Family Research Council
"This film packs an emotional wallop! What a challenge and a
testimony in this age of moral relativism." --Charles Colson, Prison
Fellowship Ministries
"Resurrects the seriousness of commitment. The whole family needs to
see and talk about this one." --Dawson McAllister, Dawson McAllister
