Basic Christian: The Inside Story of John Stott

"John Stott's... voice has indeed gone out into all the earth." — from the foreword by DAVID NEFF, Editor-in-Chief, Christianity Today In the engaging story of this remartable ife, Roger Ster takes us fram John Stott's lifelong association with the parish church of All Souls in London to every continent on the planet. This completely new biography tells the full tale of why Time magazine recognized him, in 2005, as one of the hundred most influential people in the world. Stott's personal story closely parallels the story of global evangelicalism over the past century. His associations with Inter-Varsity, Billy Graham, the Keswick Convention and the Urbana Student Mission Conventions are woven together with the landmark books he wrote— Basic Christianity, The Cross of Christ and more. We also see the dramatic confrontation with Martyn Lloyd-Jones over the place of evangelicals in the Church of England, and the critical role Stott's leadership played in the framing of the seminal Lausanne Covenant. "John Stott is the most respected evangelical clergyman in the world today, and has been a standard, or role model, for thousands of clergy." —BILLY GRAHAM
