Awakening The Life and Ministry of Robert Murray McCheyne

Was McCheyne for real? Was he just famous because he died so young? Does he have anything to teach us today? In this book, David Robertson, the present–day minister of McCheyne’s church, St Peter’s in Dundee, Scotland, seeks to answer these and other questions. Through the use of published sermons, private papers and historical material, this contemporary devotional biography traces McCheyne’s life and influence from his upbringing, conversion and training for the ministry to the revival that occurred in St. Peter’s in 1839 and his early death. The contemporary relevance of McCheyne for today’s church is demonstrated and the glory of God is seen in this wonderful story of what He can do with one ‘consecrated sinner’.
