Description

Andrew Bonar’s biography of M’Cheyne (1813-1843), conveys the fragrance of his life that no later writer could ever recapture. Being dead, M’Cheyne yet speaks and it may be doubted whether any Christian can seriously read these pages without having an example of the power of a godliness stamped upon their conscience in a manner that will remain with them for all their days.

Contents

His Youth, and Preparation for the Ministry
His Labours in the Vineyard Before Ordination
First Years of Labour in Dundee
His Mission to Palestine and the Jews
Days of Revival
The Latter Days of His Ministry

Endorsement

"This is that rare type of biography in which the subject is allowed to speak for himself in his own way and M’Cheyne’s oft-quoted prayer: “Lord, make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be made” casts its hallowed breath over every page."
— R. A. FINLAYSON
