From Cambridge to the World
March 31, 2006
The first book profile I will write has to be about this wonderful offering from Inter-Varsity Press in the UK. 
Presenting a History of a Student Movement with such broad ranging experiences is a tough ask, but the authors have done an exceptional job in updating the books of the past.
This book is well worth the read for anyone involved in student ministry, or just needing to be challenged by the actions of others in response to the gospel.
As one man put it at NTE, this book is a great training manual for gospel focussed, and gospel centred living.
What the Publisher Says:
The small group of Christian students active in Cambridge in the 1820s hardly expected their work to have remarkable effects. Yet out of ‘the Jesus Lane lot’, as they were nicknamed, grew the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (CICCU), whose influence has been world-wide.
Oliver Barclay and Bob Horn tell the story of the CICCU to mark its 125th anniversary. The life and times of this Christian Union are interwoven with evangelical Christianity and some of its most significant figures. The story points above all to God, who gives the vision and the strength to pursue it.
