When The Climb, the latest film by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Associations World Wide Pictures, is released on DVD this summer, it will include The Fathers Love Letter. The six-minute narration video uses biblical passages and pictures to describe Gods love for humanity. The Climb is about two mountaineers who embark on a climbing expedition of the deadly Mt. Chicanagua in the Chilean Andes. Derrick Williams is a live-on-the-edge type who is teamed up with Ned Vaughn, a committed Christian whose cautious professionalism on climbs and quiet faith in God confront Derricks pride and self-reliance head-on. The two are thrown together to tackle not only the mountain, but some tough issues of life like taking responsibility, letting go of the past and receiving Gods grace and forgiveness.
