Description
Publisher's Description of Robert Murray McCheyne: Life is an Adventure by Irene Howat (Trailblazers)
Robert Murray McCheyne travelled far and wide throughout his short life. He even went as far as Israel and started a mission in Hungary. But you don’t have to go far away to be a missionary and make a difference… and that was one of the earliest lessons that Robert learned in his Christian life.
As
he stood and stared at the looming tenements of Edinburgh he saw what
would become a large part of his life’s work throughout his own country
of Scotland. “For years I’ve looked at these tall buildings,’ he told a
friend, ‘but it never occurred to me to go into them and visit the
people there who don’t know that Jesus has died to save them. There are
children huddled together in there to keep warm. The poor things are
nearly naked,” his voice caught in his throat with the emotion.
And
that was what Robert Murray McCheyne was – an emotional, passionate
preacher for Christ – a young man who longed to bring others to the
Saviour who had loved him and died for him.
The Trailblazer’s series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Irene Howat will challenge young readers to serve God as Robert Murray McCheyne did.
