Seven accounts by Iain H. Murray - John Elias, Andrew Bonar, Archie Brown, Kenneth MacRae, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, W.J. Grier and John MacArthur - and the distinctive mark of each. Read more.
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Hebrews 13:7 is the text behind this book, and Iain H. Murray's method is to give seven accounts of such men and to draw out what was distinctive in each.
In John Elias it was the necessity of the power of the Holy Spirit; in the others, qualities as various as the men themselves, among them Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John MacArthur. Lloyd-Jones' own prayer stands near the front: make us worthy, O God, of the heritage they have sent down to us; teach us to prize the things that we have. A book for pastors, and for congregations thinking about what to look for in one.
