Read john stott when I got to know Christ 10 years ago. His basic christianity is one of the first introductory book given to me. (Together with macarthur’s the pillars of Christian character actually – but somehow stott’s style appeals to me more.) This book presents the main tenets of Christianity in a very clear and organised manner, and with good illustrations. Simple enough to not lose you, yet deep enough to entice you. The first 8 chapters presents the three main points: Who is Christ? What is sin? And what did Christ do? The last 3 chapters speak to me most as they ask what it means to follow Christ. Ie. Given all these, what now? Have benefitted a lot from this book.

Since then, have dropped him for a long while before picking him up again. Must admit i started reading him again cos i was attracted by the nice book covers heehee. The series by ivp comes with a beautiful spine that stands out in beautiful dignity on the shelf.

His living church is also another good book where stott presents the main essentials of a true and living church in this world. He puts down his humble opinions of what constitutes worship, evangelism, ministry, fellowship, preaching, giving and testimony in clear and assertive way.
