A Word from Wayne: Recently in the news because of a devastating fire that destroyed its historic sanctuary, First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX was once famously led by Dr. W. A. Criswell. This week's FIRST PERSON takes you back in time to tell the story of Dr. Criswell's life and ministry as told by his close friend, Dr. O. S. Hawkins, himself one of Dr. Criswell's successors. W. A. Criswell has been described as unquestionably the most prominent national evangelical leaders of his day. In our conversation, Dr. Hawkins tells the story of his mentor's life, but also addresses the three life regrets expressed personally by Dr. Criswell. The biography is titled Criswell, His Life and Times and you can learn more about it by following this link. This interview was recorded just a few days before the fire.
