Terry Virgo: A visionary leader (controversial to some)

BUILDING GOD’S HOUSE:
A Life of Terry Virgo
By Andy Johnston
MD Publishing. 255 pages. £12.99
ISBN 678 1 917 455 763

If you were to ask 100 people to name ten key figures who have had a significant impact on the church in the past half century, I suspect that one of them would be Terry Virgo.

Andy Johnston has rendered a valuable act of service by writing this life story. Andy is a New Frontiers pastor and a trained historian and writes in a way that sets Virgo’s story in the context of the shape-shifting of British evangelicalism in the past 50 years.
