Delighted in God: A Biography of George Meuller

Hodder & Stoughton Religious Division

In a major survey of the church on both sides of the Atlantic, Roger Steer explores the little-known story of evangelical Anglican-Episcopal church history. This is the story of a brand of Christianity which, at its best, has burned with the fire both of holiness and evangelism, writes Steer. As he charts the contribution evangelicals have made to the Anglican story, the author captures the zeal, commitment, and burning spirituality that have characterized the best manifestations of Anglican evangelicalism from the days of Wycliffe and the Lollards to the era of the present archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey. 
Through examining the theological roots of contemporary evangelicals such as John R.W. Stott, J.I. Packer, and Alister McGrath, Guarding the Holy Fire reveals the tensions the commitment to evangelicalism has produced in individual lives. Steer also analyzes the state of the Anglican Church of England and the American Episcopal Church today and gives a lively assessment of the role evangelicals might play in the respective churches in the new millennium. 
Evangelical Episcopalians, fans of Stott, Packer, and McGrath, and anyone interested in church history will enjoy this authoritative book on Anglican-Episcopal history.

Did you know. . . . . . John Stott's father stood strongly against his desire to be ordained in the Church of England and his pacifist leanings during World War II? . . . John Stott once got lost following birds in the Amazon rainforest? . . . John Stott once dressed up as a street urchin, fashioned a "strong Cockney accent" and lived under a bridge near the Thames in London in order to see how others lived--and whether or not the good Christians of the city reached out to them? (They did not.) . . . John Stott and the late D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones had a major breach in their relationship over Stott's refusal to leave the Church of England? In the engaging story of this remarkable life, Roger Steer takes you from John Stott's lifelong association with the parish church of All Souls in London to every continent on the planet. The account of Stott's ministry strikingly parallels the record of the rise of evangelical Christianity during the same years. You'll see the early influences on his life unfold into Stott's profound impact on the Church of England and the church worldwide. His associations with the British Inter-Varsity, Billy Graham, the Keswick Convention and the Urbana Conventions are woven together with the story of the landmark books he wrote--Basic Christianity,The Cross of Christ and more. Included is the dramatic confrontation with Martyn Lloyd-Jones over the place of evangelicals in the Church of England. You'll witness the critical role Stott's leadership played in the framing of the Lausanne Covenant and how his plea for a new understanding of the balance between evangelism and social action shaped the decades to come. This completely new biography tells the full tale of why he was, as Time magazine noted in 2005, one of the hundred most influential people in the world.

Inside Story: The Life of John Stott

Inter-Varsity Press]

George Müller's life is a powerful answer to modern scepticism. His name has become a by-word for faith throughout the world. In the early 1830s he embarked upon an extraordinary adventure. Disturbed by the faithlessness of the Church in general, he longed to have something to point to as 'visible proof that our God and Father is the same faithful creator as he ever was'. He was more successful than anyone could have believed possible and is as much an example to our generation, as he was to his.
