Biography

"One of the most important events in the life of the church since World War II has been the evangelical rediscovery of the university. Generations of students at secular universities have heard the gospel for the first time or had their faith strengthened and deepened through the dedicated efforts of ministries such as InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. An ideal way to tell this important story is through the life and ministry of a dynamic, pioneering figure at the center of it all, C. Stacey Woods. Professor Donald MacLeod was not only on the scene himself for part of this story, but he is also one of the greatest evangelical biographers working today. He has given us a well-researched, insightful study that is full of both grace and truth."

"Stacey Woods was the individual who did the most to make InterVarsity Christian Fellowship a leading campus ministry in North America in the mid-twentieth century. In many ways the balance of its emphases on piety, a solid theological core, evangelism and missions reflected his own character. Donald MacLeod presents a well-researched, engaging, sympathetic and honest account of Woods's lifework in InterVarsity and as secretary of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students."

MacLeod has put us in his debt with this illuminating volume.

This book is really about leadership as we get the opportunity to look at the life of one of the most dynamic leaders the Canadian Christian church has ever seen.
