John Stott was a giant in the global church, TIME magazine in April 2005 listed him as one for the 100 most-influential people in the world, al;ongside names like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates. This biography is written by Julia Cameron, who also wrote his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. While written for children, it covers his life and ministry in full. It is endorsed by two children (from the UK and the US), and by Timothy Dudley-Smith, his authorized biographer. It contains 42 photographs, including some from his childhood in Harley Street. This is a gripping story of a boy whose life was radically changed when he became a Christian at Rugby School (where he was Head Boy). He wrote over 50 books, translated into more than 60 languages, and he founded three movements which continue to grow. John Stott has left a remarkable legacy. This fun book, with its many stories and its Fascinating Facts, will introduce children to the man himself, and to his legacy.
