Customer Reviews
As you finish this book you will feel you know this great man.
This book was published in April 2011 to celebrate John Stott's 90th birthday. Thirty five of his friends made contributions of a few pages each. At his own desire he did not read any of them. The book builds up a living picture of a man with "an incredible capacity for friendship" beside an even greater devotion to God. Although the contributors range from bishops to young "study assistants", it is clear that John Stott had treated them all with equal consideration and respect, and was ready to share both insights and affection with them all. As you finish the book you feel you know this great man who would have would have been entitled to say with St Paul "follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ".
