Review:

Bonar's biography provides an enlightening vista of another age, while his selections give us penetrating insight into our won. As Bonar would wish, every word points us to the Christ of all ages and for all ages. --David P. Murray

This book of excerpts from the eminent Horatius Bonar is a window on the real Christ life. Living as Bonar did when Liberalism was seeking to replace Reformation theology with disguise Humanism, Bonar sounds his clarion calls: Be at your Bible; be earnest in prayer; be holy and zealous for God; preach the truth; live for eternity; shun worldliness; care to be remembered only by what you have done for Christ in this world. No message is more needed than this today. --Maurice Roberts
