Although the words of the sermon impressed the young boy, he wandered far from the church and remained away from the means of grace for decades. As an old man, he recalled the words the preacher had spoken when he was just a boy (in fact, the sermon had never really left him), and God used the word of truth, the gospel, preached decades in the past, to save him! The mystery of election and the moment of salvation in full display!

Short bios of Scottish pastors written in a quaint, lively, older style. Ultimately, it’s the story of God’s gracious work in the lives of numerous pastors throughout Scotland. My favourite is the account of a pastor who was spiritual quickened by the sovereign act of regeneration as he was preaching a sermon! He preached the forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Christ Jesus on the cross and was saved! John Howie has done a fine job chronicling the lives and works of a host of faithful ministers and bond-servants of the Lord.
