Dr Kennedy was the pastor of Dingwall Free Church congregation from 1844 until his death in 1884 at the age of 65. He was renowned and powerful preacher whose services were in much demand by congregations throughout the Highlands and much of Scotland. He was also a staunch defender of the reformed faith who as his friend describe him ‘true as steel and firm as rock’. He has an honoured place among the chroniclers of the religious history and biography of the Highlands of Scotland.

This selection of sermons was first published five years after McCheyne's death. They were compiled from notes taken down by hearers 'without the least view to publication', and they bring before us the extemporaneous pleadings with sinners in which few so greatly excelled as did Robert Murray McCheyne. These sermons are stamped with eternity, they are the expression of one upon whose heart the weight of perishing sinners pressed and who earnestly longed for their conversion.

A A Basket of Fragments: The sermons of revival

McCheyne, R. M.

From one of Scotland's greatest preachers, Robert Murray McCheyne, we have this fascinating collection of sermons that were preached during a period of great revival in Scotland. With seven sermons, one on each of the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea, we are offered valuable insights into the distinctives of these early church situations. They give the reader some idea of McCheyne's great burden to see men and women coming to know Christ for themselves. Dr Baxter wrote of McCheyne 'the chief thing about him was the unction from the Holy Spirit ... at times he was awakening ... at other times he was melting and moving as he dwelt on the great theme of redeeming love.'
 His epitaph describes him as a man who 'was honoured by his Lord to draw many wanderers out of darkness into the path of life.'

The greatest of all tragedies must be that of the person who dies just outside the gate of life. They are standing, as it were, just outside the Wicket gate to the church grounds - seeing the beauty of the building, knowing the people going in - but not stepping over the threshold themselves.Almost saved but altogether lost. 
 This is a book of immeasurable value to those who have some knowledge of the Christian Faith but who are resisting God's call to commit their lives to him. No Christian should be without a copy, to either lend or give away to a friend or acquaintance who may be lingering at the gate. 
 'Around the wicket Gate' is written in Spurgeon's unique style - sharp, penetrating, and easily readable. One of the most quoted preachers of modern times, his sermons have proved to be a blessing to millions. For someone thinking about Christianity, who has yet to accept Christ as their saviour, reading this book could be the most important step they ever take.

Around the Wicket Gate: Help for those who only know About Christ

Spurgeon, C.H.

Using Paul's letter to Titus, Henry shows us how to best live as a Christian. There is no shortage of books today claiming to tell us how to live a full life but Henry makes it clear that the company we keep, the books we read, and many other practical issues.

HENRY, MATTHEW

Horatius Bonar anticipates many of the questions that arise in the early months of discipleship and provides the answers. This short book was written over 100 years ago but deals with issues that still concern new believers today. The principles of Christian living do not change and so Bonar's advice is of permanent value. Horatius Bonar is best known today as a hymn writer. Many of his hymns are still used in worship. He was also an effective evangelist and a sensitive pastor. This experience is obvious throughout the book. Using this book is an ideal way of providing firm footholds for new Christian's first steps.

Reference

The early church fathers have always had a special place in Christian theology. As the first interpreters of the gospel, we often find in their words a sense of the gospel's sheer freshness and reality. More than this, they were the thinkers who first hammered out the full meaning of what Scripture says about the Trinity and the person of Christ. Their sayings, presented here by Nick Needham, are more than just relevant - they present the opportunity to kindle within us something of that same healthy and godly spirit.

Daily Readings – the Early Church Fathers

Needham, Nick

Richard Baxter believed that teaching was the minister's main task. He also believed that Christians should regularly come to their pastor with their problems and ministers should regularly catechise their congregations. Baxter's main concern was that personal catechising should be given to everyone, not just the young. It was this concern that brought The Reformed Pastor to birth. Faithfully presented here in an edited version for the modern audience, this book offers helpful, practical advice for those in leadership positions.
