I’m indebted to John Stott for all that he’s taught me through his books. The prayer in his short but excellent little book [*Your Mind Matters: The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0830834087/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=dashhouse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=0830834087&ref=dashhouse.com)

grabbed me over 20 years ago and is my prayer today as well:

> I pray earnestly that God will raise up today a new generation of Christian apologists or Christian communicators, who will combine an absolute loyalty to the biblical gospel and an unwavering confidence in the power of the Spirit with a deep and sensitive understanding of the contemporary alternatives to the gospel; who will relate the one to the other with freshness, authority, and relevance; and who will use their minds to reach other minds for Christ.

**Update:** I posted this quote from Stott shortly after the news came out that he had passed away.
