A fabulous introduction for teenagers

This is a FABULOUS introduction for teenagers to one of the best loved Christian leaders of the 20th Century. It makes "the Doctor" into a fully rounded human being. The author is his eldest grandchild, and for fans of Dr Lloyd-Jones it is great to see that he was as wonderful a grandfather as he was a world famous preacher and writer. Buy this book yourself and then buy a copy for your youth pastor - and, why not - all the teenagers in your family as well. Everyone of all ages can profit by reading this brilliant book.
