Today we need more Christians—and especially more pastors—whose love for God’s people flows out of their love for God himself. We need men with spiritual roots that deepen as they progress in their service to Christ. Andrew Bonar exemplified this. As God used him more widely, Bonar’s private devotion seems to have gone deeper. This brief biographical sketch, pastoral letter, and collection of quotes, introduces readers to a pastor who loved and cared for Christ’s church while drawing from a deep spiritual well of God’s love in Christ.
