Christ of the Mount : A Working Philosophy of Life

E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973), was described by a distinguished Bishop as the “greatest missionary since Saint Paul.” This missionary-evangelist spent seventy years traveling throughout the world in the ministry of Jesus Christ. As a well-known, engaging, and powerful evangelist, Jones delivered tens of thousands of sermons and lectures. He typically traveled fifty weeks a year, often speaking two to six times a day. Jones worked to revolutionize the whole theory and practice of missions to third world nations by disentangling Christianity from Western political and cultural imperialism. He established hundreds of Christian Ashrams throughout the world, many of which still meet today. E. Stanley Jones was a crusader for Christian unity, a nonstop witness for Christ, and a spokesman for peace, racial brotherhood, and social justice. Jones wrote twenty-seven books and more than 3.5 million copies of his books have been sold and they have been translated into 30 languages.
