WITH THE CHURCH IN THE BALANCE

Intellect versus emotion. Conservative
versus radical. Form versus freedom.
Evangelism versus social action. In 1975,
when John Stott first penned Balanced
Christianity, these were the issues hethought would determine the fate of the
Christian witness in the contemporary
world. Would we lunge recklessly for-
ward or pull violently back? What manner
of faith would keep us from falling?
This expanded edition revisits Stott’s clas-
sic third way meditation, inviting us to a
vigorous personal accounting for the state
of the contemporary church—calling us
to see that the truth itself hangs in the
balance.
Includes a Christianity Today interview with
John Stott addressing the need for balance
among contemporary evangelicals.
"I read this book standing in a bookstore as a college student. When done I bought it, took it home, read it two
more times over the course of the year, and then somehow I lost it — no doubt because I loaned it to a friend. In
this book John Stott first opened my mind to the delightful joy of truths we cannot always resolve but to which we
can commit ourselves in tension. Stott writes here of balance, and as a person he exhibited it. In your hands isone of the great tracts of twentieth-century evangelicalism. Savor it."
—Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary

"John Stott was a leader who never stopped learning. His posture of humility before God, before the Scriptures,
before friends and even before enemies was one of his most remarkable traits. This set of lectures captures some
of this spirit in a plain and compassionate way. For a leader who seeks humble courage, it can be tasted in this
word of witness from one who lived it to the glory of the Lord he followed."
—Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary,
author of The Dangerous Act of Loving Your Neighbor
Published here for the first time in
English, John Stott’s Desafíos del Liderazgo
Cristiano —now Problems of Christian
Leadership —confronts the demons every
leader will face in a lifetime of ministry:discouragement, temptation and self-
discipline, difficult relationships and the
limits of youth.
Originally delivered as a series of lectures
to young leaders in Latin America, the
book presents John Stott in his element
as a global missionary-teacher, extending
plainspoken wisdom from a storied
career in ministry.
Includes reflections on John Stott's
ministry from two of his former study
assistants, Mark Labberton and Corey
Widmer, plus excerpts of Stott's writing
about ministry, leadership and service.

VINTAGE STOTT
Opening our eyes to the persistent
controversies that followed Jesus
throughout his public ministry, John
Stott explains why the tension-filled
social exchanges depicted in the
Gospels provide us with a key to the
heart of Christian doctrine.
"This is vintage Stott—clear, biblical,
passionate, thoughtful and Christ-centered.
. . . By brilliant analysis of the debates of
Jesus with the Pharisees and Sadducees of his
day, he highlights modern versions of the same
distortions. Profound, lucid and compelling, this
book is as relevant to current debates as when it
was first published."
—John Wyatt, emeritus professor
of neonatal paediatrics at University
College London
