Have you read a book that changed the trajectory of your life?
Over the decades, many have benefited from Zig Ziglar’s book, Confessions of a Happy Christian.
Years before I read the book, I heard Zig present to thousands, encouraging them with memorable quotes. For example:
You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
One of my all-time favorite Zig quotes affected me and the people I coached.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
Bottom line, Zig’s book encouraged me to replace my worldly values with those of Jesus.
His life story opened my eyes. If the professional speaker and author I admired surrendered his life to Christ, who was I to resist?
Zig gave me a nudge, and I listened to the Holy Spirit.
My wife and I agreed to visit a church. I still remember that cold December day. We sat in our parked car for so long that the windows fogged up. Embarrassed by our worldly thinking that someone might mistake us for a couple making out, we finally went inside.
Not long after that first service, I gave my heart to Christ and, after a few months, I got baptized. Then, Sunday after Sunday, we kept showing up, eager to take part in the many church activities.
Now you know why Confessions of a Happy Christian still occupies a special place in my heart and remains on my bookshelf after nearly four decades.
The book is available on Amazon (paperback or Kindle), and I hope you enjoy Zig’s humor and advice as much as I did.
