Awakening: The Life and Ministry of Robert Murray Mccheyne
Awakening The Life and Ministry of Robert Murray Mccheyne Author:David Robertson The book is a modern account of the life of one of Scotland's greatest and most influential preachers, Robert Murray McCheyne. Awakening brings to life the Scottish Baptist minister who devoted his time to studying, preaching, and living the Word of God. David Robertson lets McCheyne speak for himself through published sermons, private p... more »apers, and diaries. Join with him in his daily devotions, regular prayers with friends, and his pastoral visits; share in his commitment to overseas mission. Through his disciplined life, ordinary sermons were transformed, as were his prayer meetings, children's work, and pastoral visitation. A story of personal devotion, outreach, and renewal, Awakening traces McCheyne from his upbringing, conversion, and training for the ministry to the revival that occurred in St. Peter's in 1839. Written by the present minister at St. Peter's, Dundee, Awakening is a stirring account of what God did through McCheyne and what God can do today, if only we let him. From the Introduction: "I am amazed at the relevance of McCheyne for today but angry that the ignorance about him has largely obscured that relevance ... As I have gotten to know McCheyne through his letters and papers, it has been a humbling and inspiring experience. It is my hope and prayer that those who read this book will be able to share in a personal awakening for themselves and their own church and communities."« less
