Endorsements

‘This is one of the best and most profitable volumes ever published. The memoir of such a man ought surely to be in the hands of every Christian and certainly every preacher of the Gospel.’ — C.H. SPURGEON

'Robert Murray M'Cheyne's biography written by his friend Andrew Bonar is one of my most treasured possessions and has been a companion throughout almost all of my Christian life. M'Cheyne died when he was twenty nine, but his life story has been for I personally a model of grace, and his ministry pattern a model for service. It is a book every young Christian man should read—more than once.' — SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON
