Awakening: The Life and Ministry of Robert Murray McCheyne

When Robert Murray McCheyne came to pastor St Peter's Church in Dundee, it was a dying church with only a few folk, attending on a Sunday morning. Today, he stands as perhaps the leading Christian figure that Scotland has produced in the last 300 years. Given that he died at the age of 29, how can we explain his incredible impact?

In this book, David Robertson, present-day minister of McCheyne's church, seeks to answer these and other questions. Published sermons, private papers and other historical material are used in this contemporary devotional biography. Discover McCheyne's life and influences 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'.

Each chapter ends with a prayer and questions are added to encourage further thought and study.
