Andrew Bonar: Diary & Life

The Diary and Life of Andrew Bonar (1810-92) gives a panoramic view of one of the most fascinating periods of Scotland's church history. But first and foremost it is the record of God's work in the life of a man who represented all that was finest in the evangelical life of that country.

Pupil of Thomas Chalmers, friend of Robert Murray M'Cheyne, participant in the revivals of 1839 and 1859, faithful witness against the inroads of 'Higher Criticism'—Bonar's name became highly esteemed far beyond the borders of his own church. Yet his life-long concern was communion with God, and his diary discloses that hidden yet most helpful aspect of his witness.

Endorsement

"Andrew Bonar's name will forever be associated with his moving biography of his great friend Robert Murray M'Cheyne. His Diary and Life breathes the same spirit. It is one of the most helpful accounts in all Christian literature of a man who lived in communion with God."
—Sinclair B. Ferguson
