The New York Times Magazine described Sir John Templeton
as “the dean of global investing,” yet Norman Vincent
Peal characterized this same man as "the greatest layman of the
Christian Church of our time." In 1992, international investment
manager Sir John Templeton retired from the world of business to devote
his time to philanthropic work through the John Templeton Foundation.
For 25 years he has funded the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion
given to an outstanding individual who has made contributions in spiritual
progress. He is the author or editor of numerous books, including
Discovering the Laws of Inner Life, Is God the Only Reality?, Worldwide
Laws of Life, Evidence of Purpose, and the Humble Approach..
