Dr. Gary Chapman honored with Ministry Impact Award and 30th Anniversary of the 5 Love Languages®
Dr. Gary Chapman, Moody alumnus and New York Times bestselling author and speaker, was honored at a special celebration event for the 30th anniversary of his book, the 5 Love Languages®.

We’re proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 5 Love Languages® and present Dr. Chapman the Ministry Impact Award.”
After receiving the award, Dr. Chapman responded with these words, “I am often asked by people to explain the success of the 5 Love Languages®, selling as it has over the past 30 years. My long and short answer to that question is ‘God,’ and I always want to give Him the credit. And I couldn’t have done it without the help from the team at Moody Publishers and I’m deeply grateful for the talents they have used to share this book with the world.”
