Must be about 40 years since I last read this little book - so well time to give it another read :) Stott does a good job in putting together an easy-to-read little booklet on what is involved in becoming a Christian. I do dislike the usage of "Jesus standing at the door of your life knocking" as that passage from Revelation is talking to Churches rather than individual - and I would argue that if we are to apply this image to our salvation, we also have to have Jesus inside our life helping us to open the door :) Whilst I really like the final chapter on "Some Final Suggestions" and bit more emphasis on Grace would be good :)
