The first volume of the official biography of John Stott, by Timothy Dudley-Smith, is published by IVP. EN interviewed the subject and the author of the biography...

EN: John Stott, you came to Christ through the work of E.J.H. Nash (Bash) while you were at Rugby School in the 1930s. And the book gives the impression of you as quite an idealistic youth. What was it about the Lord Jesus Christ that led you to surrender your life to him?

EN: When and how did you become a Christian?

DZN: Both my parents were committed Christians - my father was also a lay evangelist. So I grew up within the church, but when I was 15 I strayed and became heavily influenced by drink. I tried to deceive my parents and bought some Scripture Union Bible reading notes, to pretend that things were not so bad with me. Through the notes I read the Bible seriously and was struck by its impact. One Sunday in June 1972, when I was suffering from a hangover, I went to a small-group discussion run for Christians on the subject of doubts in the Christian faith. I realised then that the only reason I doubted the reality of my faith was because I wasn't there yet, and so I turned to the Lord.
