Praise for the Print Edition

In terms of accessibility and usefulness to contemporary ministry I can think of no better book on M’Cheyne. Comprehensive and yet easily read it does not shy away from tough issues like how to deal with controversy.

--David Meredith, Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Inverness

The piety of M’Cheyne, pulsing with love to Christ, is his great legacy, and Stone helps us to understand it in M’Cheyne and to long for it in ourselves. It is not to make much of M’Cheyne that we should read this book, but to learn from M’Cheyne how a revived ministry will ordinarily be the instrument of a revived church.

--David Strain, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi

A Holy Minister features the vibrant spirituality and pastoral fervor of Robert Murray M’Cheyne. Stone has carefully studied and now winsomely presents this great example to ministers today. Let us pray for a generation of pastors who treasure Christ the way we see modelled in this work.

--Matthew Boswell, Pastor, The Trails Church; Hymnwriter; Assistant Professor of Church Music and Worship, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
