In this book John expands on Martin Luther's exhortation from the Sermon on the Mount: Let the little birds be your theologians'. Lessons on faith from the feeding of ravens, on repentance from migration of storks, on freedom from the flight of the eagle , and joy from the the song of the lark.. This is his personal photographic account of his 70th Birthday trip to the Falkland Islands.

Most excellent and concise definition of these two key words of the christian faith : fundamentalism and evangelism. Stott defines what they are, and what they are not.
