Letters of the Late R.C. Chapman (Paperback or Softback)

Hold Thou me up, nor let me swerve
From Love’s excelling way.
—R.C. Chapman

Affectionately known as the Apostle of Love, preacher and evangelist R.C. Chapman, who lived to the ripe old age of ninety-nine, devoted his long life to living Christ and loving others.

Those familiar with Chapman’s life and his expositions of the Scriptures will find in his letters a deeper insight into the heart of the man whose chief interests were always his Lord and his neighbor. Chapman’s first-person account of his missionary travels to Ireland and continental Europe reveals a world shrouded in the darkness of Roman Catholicism, a state which Chapman and his companions prayed and worked to change. His letters of counsel to parishioners and friends display “a tender interest in the things of others, a heart in which abode the words of Christ” (Henry Hake, from the introduction). In them, readers can find advice and comfort for a wide variety of life’s troubles.
