Around the World with John Stott

This is a delightful and colorful (though brief) book in which Christian statesman John RW Stott shares memories of his world travels (along with beautiful photos) and highlights 17 people whose lives have influenced his own. Some are people Stott met, others are persons whose lives touched his in some way. Among those featured are Richard Wurmbrand, Mohandas Gandhi, Hudson Taylor, Ernest Shackleton, and D.L Moody, along with others. Stott's own engaging personality shines through the pages.
