Sir John Templeton

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 and now devotes 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.
