Little Zag from Zig

"With this salesman and Christian, what you see is what you get"

Ziglar's unquenchable optimism shines through, even when he tells the stories of his difficulties. One hungers for a bit more of the inner man in these pages, however. What particular insights from Bible study, what seasons of prayer have meant most to him? How has his understanding of grace and miracles changed over the decades? We get hints, but yearn for more than a soupçon of detail.

Nevertheless, when compared with some memoirs of conflicted lives that leave readers despairing, Zig is a welcome tonic.

Mark A. Kellner is a freelance writer in Los Angeles.
