Description

William Chalmers Burns was surrounded by revival. Not only was he used by God in Scotland, Continental Europe and North America, but he was also a pioneer missionary in China (Where he persuaded a young man called Hudson Taylor to dress in Chinese clothes). In his journals are recorded a first hand account of revival and the life of a spiritual man with an adventurous spirit - a man whose favourite books as a boy were ?The Pilgrim's Progress' and ?The Life of Sir William Wallace' (Braveheart).

Endorsements

"Burns was used mightily of God in his native Scotland but turned his back on the acclaim gained from revival to respond to the passion of his life, sharing the gospel in China. Burns sacrificed material comforts, suffered illness and harassment, and labored unto death in order bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the interior of China. This unique biography by Dr. Michael McMullen, including Burns' letters, sermons and journal entries, will be an inspiration and blessing to all who read it and a model for those in the twenty-first century."

Jerry Rankin, President Emeritus of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board (IMB)

Appearing in three equal-length sections - biography, journal extracts and letters - this book provides a unique insight into an extraordinary mans' life. An absorbing and deeply inspiring study.

Burns' life and work deserve to be as well known and studied as those of McCheyne and Andrew Bonar. This book is highly recommended as the best means we have to this end.
