A Holy Minister
The Life and Spiritual Legacy of Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Jordan Stone
Life & theology of great 19th Century preacher
Often overlooked aspects of M’Cheyne’s life
Powerful model for pastors
Robert Murray M’Cheyne was a 19th century preacher who is known not only for his powerful preaching, but for his personal holiness. Jordan Stone examines the force behind this holiness – his love for and communion with Christ. M’Cheyne prayed for, preached for and pursued holiness because he understood it to be the mature expression of love to Christ. Let us allow his unrelenting passion for piety convict our contemporary complacency and help us learn how to abide in the love of Christ.

… there is danger in picking up this book. You will not only be inspired, you will be challenged. Christ’s beauty and preciousness shined throughout M’Cheyne’s life and ministry, as evidenced on every page of this book.

… far more valuable is the care taken to show how M’Cheyne’s personal piety, preaching, and pastoral ministry flowed from his deep love for the Lord Jesus Christ – the very love I want every seminarian to cultivate and cherish.

Stone brings to life a pastoral voice few outside of Scotland have heard, but every pastor needs. This book is a very concise, well–written, and accessible work that will act as a great introduction to Robert Murray M’Cheyne or a sweet reminder to those who already know him. I commend M’Cheyne to every pastor and this excellent work to get you started.
