5.0 out of 5 stars Stott is readable and clear yet deep and challenging, September 28, 1998
I have used this book as the centerpeiece of a small group discussion that I do each year for the past 5 years. It is a great book for covering the basics of the Christian life. Stott does a superb job of speaking to the issues that face Christians in the modern context by showing the relevance of scripture without losing substance. The book not only gives you plenty to think about, but also opens up doors of discussion in many areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, March 29, 2000
By J. Willett (Everett, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I highly recommend this book for two reasons. First, this book underscores the important of the Christian world view in contemporary times. Stott is very methodical at outlining the relevancy and importance of theological and historical issues (such as the resurrection) to our contemporary world. He does this without diluting historic Christianity. Secondly, this book reaffirmed my faith in Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong inspiration from a great british preacher/leader, August 9, 1998
By A Customer
I gladly recommend this book to everyone that is interested in understanding our time and in learning more about communicating the gospel to this generation. It's an inheritance from an experienced and wonderful personality within the christian world.
