For fifty years John Stott has shaped print on page, training it to speak again the arresting power, evocative imagery and crystalline truth of God's Word. Those who have heard God's Word at creation, at Sinai, on a Galilean hillside or from a household church at Ephesus have recognized the fresh imprint of those words in the strokes of Stott's pen.
In a culture where the market value of words floats on a meringue of style, decibel or feel-good effects, people of the Word have grown to appreciate the substance, clarity and winsome truthfulness of John Stott's writings. Increasingly they arrest us as words echoed from a forgotten if warmly familiar and attractive tongue.
Authentic Christianity is an anthology of the best from John Stott's writings, from memorable epigrams to penetrating argument. It is a rare blend of godly wisdom and spiritual truth–theology in the finest sense–not to be devoured in haste but to be savored, pondered, remembered and shared.
