All over the world, God is touching and changing lives by revealing His truth in the Word. It is my prayer that the Powerful testimonies in this book encourage you to live a victorious Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit. -Charles Stanley
"Deep in my heart, I believe Christ is the only one who can save my soul. I am thirsty for the truth, stuck between my old religion and the new teaching of Christ, which I've never heard before. I believe Christ is alive and is calling me. Please guide me with your teaching. Help me to know Him more and more." Iran, March 1998
"I am not a Christian but find your programs very special. Out of curiosity and driven by a strange force, I started listening every night. Through your teaching, I learn how to live positively and to be gracious to others. How I want to know your God more." China, April 1997
"It was the testimonies of people that converted to Christianity from other religions that attracted me to listen. Is it possible for people in my country to change their religion and still life?" Middle East, February 2001
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death." Revelation 12:11(NASB)
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.
