Thirty-five of John's friends open their hearts and share memories of a unique man, creating an art gallery of very personal portraits by friends and colleagues 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 British evangelicalism.

Many brush strokes, one portrait.

Christopher J H Wright (Author)

Christopher J. H. Wright is International Ministries Director of the Langham Partnership International. He was formerly Principal of All Nations Christian College, and taught at Union Biblical Seminary, Pune, India.

This is a collection of sketches by some of those who have been closest to Stott over the years. Thus it will provide essential insights into grasping his personal legacy. This is a delightful book; as the blurb simply says: 'Thirty five of John's friends open their hearts and share memories of a unique man and a truly special friend. Many brush strokes, one portrait'. Published before his death, this is a fitting tribute to a man who has fought the good fight and finished the race.
