No other person so impacted the growth of the church around the world, as well as in North America, as “Dr. Mac,” as his friends called him. McIntosh tells McGavran’s compelling story from his years as an evangelistic missionary in India, to his founding of an influential school of missiology, to the beginning of a movement that changed the entire face of mission.
