'''[[W. A. Criswell|Criswell]]: His Life and Times''' is a biography released in April 2024. It was written by Dr. O.S. Hawkins, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas and President Emeritus of [[GuideStone Financial Services]] (the investment and annuity arm of the [[Southern Baptist Convention]]).
The biography tells of the life of the famous pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, from the viewpoint of the man who would eventually succeed him in that role. In interviews conducted prior to the book's release, Hawkins mentioned that the book was, in some ways, intended to be a continuation of his previous book '''[[In the Name of God (biography}|In the Name of God]]''' due to both Criswell being the successor to [[George W. Truett]] and how, in many ways, he resembled both Truett and [[J. Frank Norris]] in his actions and conduct. Hawkins also mentioned that Criswell agreed to share intimate details about his life and that of FBC Dallas, with the agreement that Hawkins could not publish the book until at least 20 years after Criswell's death, and that other individuals (who Hawkins did not name) also had to be deceased.
