I'm not sure how to describe this book. Like many before me I have been deeply moved by reading it and praying over it. It is a book that has made me lose sleep - like no other book it humbles me to the dust that I am so spiritually feeble. McCheyne can, perhaps, best be summed up in his words, "It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God." McCheyne strove to be like Jesus with a heart and mind only for the glory of God. I heartily recommend this book - and for those in ministry this should be mandatory! Are there any likeminded today?

[MEMOIR] In the midst of the restless activity of such a day as ours, it will be felt by ministers of Christ to be useful in no common degree, to trace the steps on one who, but lately left us, and who, during the last years of his short life, walked calmly in almost unbroken fellowship with the FATHER and the SON.
[Appendices] Spared, by the good hand of God upon me, until now, 1892, when nearly every one of the eighteen friends who formed our morning-meeting have passed away, and having been urged to give some brief notes in regard to each of these friends, I shall try to do so very briefly, taking each in alphabetic order.

[Sermons, Etc.] It is the saying of an old divine, that God often orders it, that when He is in hand with the greatest mercies for us, then we are most of all sinning against Him; which He doth to magnify His love the more.
