Person
Dr. Charles F. Stanley (1932-2023) was a New York Times bestselling author who wrote more than sixty books, with sales of more than ten million copies. He had been senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia and his outreach ministry-In Touch-reached more than 2,800 radio and television outlets in more than fifty languages. Dr. Stanley was inducted into the National Religious Broadcaster's (NRB) Hall of Fame in 1988. Dr. Stanley's goal was best represented by In Touch Ministries' mission statement: to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. This is because, as he said, "It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people's lives."
