I was recently looking up a quote from Zig Ziglar – my all time favorite motivational speaker and realized I should make a list so I don’t need to go digging so often. So here are the ones I have gathered over time from different places – not just his books and recordings. I hope you find them useful. If there are some good ones I missed please let me know and I will verify and add them.
I have the pleasure of meeting Zig in about a year or so before he died. It was a great day for me. At the same time I got to have lunch with him, his son Tom and his daughter Julie. What a really genuine family of believers. Did you ever get to spend time with Zig? Leave a comment and tell us all about it. I know I would be interested.
God Bless and Give with Passion,
Chris
