Our Guilty Silence
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In this book, John Stott expresses the conviction that despite the confusion and weakness of the age, there is nevertheless a chance for recovering the evangelical vision of the Church that was so central to the efforts of the earliest followers of Jesus. Stott calls on his readers to end the guilty silence and to one again proclaim, testify, and preach the good news, the gospel to all who might hear.
