A celebration of an unlikely friendship between a Christian missionary evangelist and a Hindu activist leader.
E. Stanley Jones credits Mahatma Gandhi as the man who showed him "more of the spirit of Christ than perhaps any other . . . in East or West." Compelling words about a Hindu activist leader from a Christian missionary evangelist. A friendship between these two very different spiritual icons would seem unlikely, but Gandhi and Jones forged a strong bond nonetheless. In Gandhi: Portrait of a Friend, Jones celebrates this friendship, helping us better understand the strength of a nonviolent approach and how it can cross national and faith boundaries.
E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was a universally admired Christian missionary and evangelist who spent seventy years travelling the world and preaching. His books have been translated into more than thirty languages.
The original edition of this book has been updated by E. Stanley Jones Foundation in
conjunction with Anne Matthews-Younes, granddaughter of E. Stanley
Jones, and Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi.
