From one of Scotland's greatest preachers, Robert Murray McCheyne, we
have this fascinating collection of sermons that were preached during a
period of great revival in Scotland. With seven sermons, one on each of
the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis,
Philadelphia and Laodicea, we are offered valuable insights into the
distinctives of these early church situations. They give the reader some
idea of McCheyne's great burden to see men and women coming to know
Christ for themselves.
Dr Baxter wrote of McCheyne 'the chief thing about him was the unction
from the Holy Spirit ... at times he was awakening ... at other times he
was melting and moving as he dwelt on the great theme of redeeming
love.'
His epitaph describes him as a man who 'was honoured by his Lord to draw
many wanderers out of darkness into the path of life.'
