John Stott

A Portrait By His Friends

About this book

Thirty-five of John Stott's friends open their hearts and share significant memories of a unique man, mentor, speaker and author, creating a vivid gallery of very personal portraits from around the globe.From 'Wumby Dumby', the special uncle and godfather, to the Revd Dr John Stott, international Christian statesman, this tribute contains a rich bank of memories, representing a key period in twentieth-century British evangelicalism. The human John Stott is very much in evidence also, for example in stories from the author's bird-watching exploits and relaxed holidays at his beloved Welsh home.Many brush strokes, one portrait, this presents a compelling and multi-faceted image of a fascinating Christian leader.[Contains coloured art sections x 2 with a unique collection of photos, both formal and informal.]
