An incredibly wise man once taught that true success means having balance across all areas of life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and the late Zig Ziglar have an intimate conversation about faith, family, and perseverance. Zig shares how his mother’s wisdom and unwavering Christian faith shaped his journey to becoming America’s premier motivator.
Zig Ziglar was a motivational speaker, teacher and trainer who traveled the world delivering his hopeful and encouraging messages with humor and poise. He was also a renowned author, penning over thirty celebrated books including Born to Win, See You at the Top, and Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World. Recognized by his peers as the quintessential voice of our time, Zig remained a committed family man, dedicated patriot, and an active church member until his death in 2012. Zig and his late wife, Jean, are survived by their three grown children and many grandchildren.
