Why I Am A Christian by John Stott
The Pastor’s Monthly Book Selection – April, 2015
This small book was the second of two books written by John Stott that my children gave to me last Christmas. As with the first book, which was recommended a few months ago, this work was a blessing to my soul. Why I Am A Christian was compiled from earlier writings and sermons by Stott in his later years of life and makes a case for the veracity of the Christian faith. Throughout the book, the author writes with a warm and irenic spirit as he tells why he is a Christian. Each of the seven chapters offer a reason for faith that ultimately points the reader to Jesus Christ. Although this work was written to answer skeptics and critics, I found it to be a source of encouragement and comfort for me as a believer. I recommend this text to Christians who simply want to rest by the quiet streams with their Savior as well as to those that wish to know why Christians feel so compelled to follow the Lord Jesus.
