A Collection of Quotes from Robert Murray McCheyne
R. M. McCheyne
Beloved 19th Century Scottish preacher
Includes short biography of McCheyne
Includes year–long Bible reading plan
Despite not living to see his 30th birthday, Robert Murray McCheyne’s impact on the spiritual life of Scotland was remarkable. This short collection of quotes gives readers a taste of the insight he had into spiritual things, and the clarity with which he expressed these truths. Also included is a short biography of McCheyne written by his contemporary, James Hamilton. At the back there is his famous plan for reading the whole Bible in a year, along with his instructions on how to use it and his explanation of why he compiled it.
R. M. McCheyne
Robert Murray McCheyne (1813 – 1843) has had a tremendous impact not only on the people of his generation but through his writings ever since. He died in his thirtieth year and in the seventh year of ministry while he was the pastor of St Peter’s Free Church. 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’.

Christian Heritage
McCheyne lived a brief life, but he knew the mighty God of the Bible. Because he knew God, he feared him, even as he communed with him. He was humbled, and he desired, above all, to serve the Savior faithfully. These excerpts point us in the same direction—to the mighty God who communes with his people by his Spirit to the glory of Jesus Christ.
