Zig Ziglar... His Legacy Lives On - Church Leader Insights

I was sad to see that Zig Ziglar passed away last Wednesday, November 28, at the age of 86.

As a committed Christian and a motivational speaker and author, Zig influenced millions… including yours truly!

Some of my fondest memories were of getting to share the stage with Zig as a teenage entrepreneur and I’m still encouraged by his books and audio resources.

Zig is a true example of how to honor God and find success in life and business.

In memory of him, here are three of my favorite Zig Ziglar books & resources:

Zig was a faithful member of Prestonwood Baptist Church, and taught an “Encouragers” Bible study class there for nearly two decades.

I am grateful for the influence he had on my life!
