No Well Worn Paths (Terry Virgo)

By Jon Beardon


Kingsway 2001 £9.99 346pgs.

"Newfrontiers is 'an international family of churches on a mission together' and speaking for myself I thank God for the privilege of being part of such an vibrant family. Maybe you are like me though in wanting to know something of how a group has gathered together. What mix of influences have led to where they are today? No Well Worn Paths tells the story of Terry Virgo who leads the Newfrontiers family of Churches. His story weaves the history of the Newfrontiers into the wider picture of the fresh move of the Spirit of God that began in the 1970's and continues today. Along the way the reader learns about the origins of the Restoration movement which Newfrontiers would claim to be part of. Key prophetic words over Newfrontiers mingle with biblical convictions about church, ministry, mission, leadership and other contentious subjects as well. All in all the book is inspiring at a personal level, and as a personal reflection of what God has been doing by his Spirit in the churches in recent decades but more than that it acts as a thorough introduction to Newfrontiers. I've found myself reading it twice so far!"

Summary
An autobiography by Terry Virgo, and the story of New Frontiers International . 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.

This is the personal and enlightening story of one man's journey to follow Christ wherever he leads, even on paths few have taken before. Much more than history, this is a behind-the-scenes perspective full of gracious reflection on events and fresh insight for the future.

The fruit of Terry's journey has been nothing less than the formation of a new stream of churches worldwide in the form of New Frontiers International, including its long run of Downs and Stoneleigh Bible Weeks which have helped hundreds of thousands to see church differently.
