Description
Robert Murray McCheyne was born in 1813 and died in 1843. His life, was nothing short of extraordinary. Given the charge of St Peter's Church, Dundee at the age of 23, even his trial sermon was blessed, with two people being saved. The church saw astonishing growth, overflowing with 1,100 hearers.
He stands today as one of the outstanding preachers in the history of Scotland. His spirituality, and focus on the work of Christ was immediately apparent - with hostile crowds melting as they realised the sincerity of the man and the power of his message.
His life is a lesson to us all, that when we submit to our Sovereign Lord and his plan, he can and will use our bodies, no matter how weak, our gifts, no matter how limited and our lives, no matter how short.

Well respected author on Scottish revival
Robert McCheyne is mentioned a lot in some church circles and when I received this book I thought I would know all there was to know about him. I was greatly surprised to read of this fantasic insight and well documented book by LJ Van Valen. In these days of instant coffee and instant church it was good to see how a man of God had carved out his vocation steeped in the love of God. As is often the case with biographes we discover that it was not an easy life for him. We knew he died at an early age but the depth of information Van Valen provides only makes it more the marvelous "A God filled" life depicted in these pages. Well done Christian Focus for a good publication. I would have liked to see something about his Hymn writing. Great book for a new pastor or church worker.
Brian Robertson, Pitlochry
"He has much to teach us about how to reach the cities and the modern industrialised world for Jesus Christ. Read and learn."
David Robertson
Well–known pastor and apologist
"This book should be required reading for every pastor, desired reading for every believer, and inspiring reading for all who hunger after the things of God. The clear print and attractive presentation are a credit to the publisher."
Peace and Truth
"He was an outstanding man of God, and his life story, here told in fullest detail and with fullest sympathy, should on no account be missed."
J. I. Packer
(1926–2020), Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada
... the sheer strength of the subject matter carries the reader along and we are thankful to the author for reminding us that God made Robert M'Cheyne so wonderfully fruitful in his life, ministry and death.
