Overview

Can you live a godly life and still be successful? The answer is yes! The key lies in understanding success as defined by God. While the world sums up success as fame and fortune, God defines success in terms of relationship, character, and obedience. Dr. Stanley demonstrates how you can hurdle the roadblocks that stand between you and your goals. You will discover that God wants His children to succeed, and has designed and equipped you for that purpose.

Top Highlights

“1. God desires for you to live successfully regardless of your outer circumstances.” (Page 13)

“But in the end, every person has as his or her deepest desire inner peace, joy, contentment, health and wholeness (spirit, mind, and body), feelings of spiritual security, the hope of eternal life, family love, and a living relationship with God.” (Page ix)

“God’s commitment to our success is related to our courage and to our obedience in keeping His commandments.” (Page 14)

“If you hold any of these attitudes, I want to share this good news with you. God does desire for you to be successful. He is deeply committed to your success, if you are willing to pursue success His way and to adopt His definition of success. And yes, Christians can be successful—including you.” (Page vii)

“Success is to be found in the way in which we live out our lives day in and day out. It is to be found as we pursue what God calls us to be and to do. Success is not the end of a process. It is how we undertake the process called life.” (Page 15)

Charles Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries, demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs by providing practical biblical truths for everyday life. By 1982, In Touch Ministries was incorporated and began radio syndication. "In Touch" programs penetrated almost every major market in the United States during the 1980's, reaching more than one-million households with the message of Christ's sufficiency for life's demands. Stanley has also served two terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention (1984-86) and first joined the NRB's board of directors in 1982.

In 1988, he was inducted into the National Religious Broadcaster's (NRB) Hall of Fame for the consistent excellence of his broadcasts and his leadership in the realm of Christian television and radio. Religious Heritage of America named him Clergyman of the Year in 1989, an award that recognizes pastors who strive to make Judeo-Christian principles part of America's daily life. In 1993, the NRB honored "In Touch" with the Television Producer of the Year award; and in 1999, with the Radio Program of the Year award. Just this year, Thomas Nelson Publishing recognized Dr. Stanley for selling more than 6.5 million copies of his books.

Dr. Stanley's messages tackle such issues as parenting, finances, personal crises, emotions, and relationships. Instructional teaching for personal spiritual growth focuses on prayer, the character of God, fellowship through the Holy Spirit, and the Person of Jesus Christ. Dr. Stanley fervently believes the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, a belief strongly reflected in his teaching.

The goal of Dr. Charles Stanley is best represented by In Touch's mission statement: to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. Dr. Stanley's heart's desire is to get the gospel to "as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, as clearly as possible, as irresistibly as possible, through the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
