An autobiography by Terry Virgo, and the story of Newfrontiers. This fascinating account tells of Terry’s conversion as a teenager, his subsequent baptism in the Spirit and his call from God to serve him as a Bible teacher and church leader. Much more than history, this is a behind-the-scenes perspective full of gracious reflection on events and fresh insight for the future.
Review
I'm always a fan of biographical accounts of Christians and this one didn't let me down.
I don't go to a New Frontiers church but have had close links with a number of NFI churches over the years, so when I managed to pick up a copy of this second hand it looked to be a promising read. The book is a clear life story of both Terry Virgo and the New Frontiers movement which he founded.
What challenged me the most was that he always tried to act on the working of God through the Holy Spirit, and that he expected God to work. This leads to some very honest musings over the starting of the charismatic movement and some of the politics of that both at what was London Bible College and in the early `apostolic meetings'.
A book that's worth reading, although I'm sure it's due an update soon. Amazon. 2010. No Well-worn Paths By Terry Virgo. [ONLINE] Available at: https://cccw.onl/32yFmkR. [Accessed 26 January 2022].
