Andrew A. Bonar's biography of Robert Murray M'Cheyne, the young
yet pioneering Scottish minister who revolutionized Bible readings
at home and abroad, offers a meticulously detailed yet lively
telling of his life story. Born to a middle-class family in
Edinburgh in 1813, the young Robert demonstrated intellectual
ability at an early age. Upon attending the city's university, he
quickly became regarded as a remarkably gifted religious scholar.
His intuitive skills and theological knowledge exceeded all
expectations, and he became an assistant to John Bonar of the
famous Bonar family. Robert Murray M'Cheyne was appointed a
delegate of the Church of Scotland when it organized a visit to
Jerusalem and the Holy Land. By all accounts this journey was
spiritually fulfilling for the young minister, with the major
findings and progress of the voyage recorded in his work entitled
Narrative of a Visit to the Holy Land and Mission of Inquiry to the
Jews.

The average age of churchgoers in Britain is now 47. Almost every
denomination is experiencing steady decline. How sure can we be
that we are still offering something people want to hear? Alison
Morgan identifies four clear reasons to be confident: 1. The gospel
still speaks to confused teens and weary sceptics. By embracing
doubts and welcoming questions it remains open to us to present
something which answers people's real needs. 2. The word of truth
and the Spirit of power still exercise authority and compel
attention. Alison's own experience of ministry in the UK and abroad
provides illustrations. 3. Spiritual gifts, given not to excite
individuals but in order to renew the church for its core task of
mission, are powerfully present and widely recognised and
practised. 4. In a time of rapid cultural change, new expressions
of church are constantly emerging: this is necessary to guard
against vital spirituality sliding into drab religion.
