When James M'Kendrick was saved in a dynamic way in 1881, his whole life changed course. An uneducated miner soon became part of the Holy Spirit's move to bring the gospel to thousands of people all over the British Isles. His biography is a most inspiring first-hand account of the Christian revival that swept through Scotland, England and Ireland in the 19th century.
Seen and Heard is written not by a clergyman but by a typical working-class man who was willing to pour out all he had in genuine love and care for those whom he preached to.
In his autobiography James M'Kendrick witnesses again and again how the Lord Jesus rescues men and women from the direst of human situations to a life of salvation and joy.
This book is perfect for you if you enjoy reading historical biographies of Christians and missionary biographies, or if you desire to see how God moved in previous generations.
Seen and Heard is a Christian autobiography that was originally printed in 1914 and is now available for the first time as an e-book.
Excerpts from Seen and Heard:
"A band of youths, called the 'Rowdy Band', who had fully earned and maintained their title, came down to the fisher quarter of the town with the set purpose of giving trouble and doing mischief. They were more than a match for the police and the law-abiding public, but Almighty God was more than a match for them. As has often happened, they came to scoff, but remained to weep and pray. God saved the ringleader the first night they came, and ere the mission closed most of that band were truly saved—chiefly through their late ringleader's efforts."
"People came from Montrose and all around to see the mighty power of God. Fishing was abandoned; everything was given up to the work of the Gospel. Backsliders were restored, Christians greatly cheered and revived, and several hundreds added to the number of the saved. We had never up to that time witnessed such a great and mighty outpouring of the Spirit of God. It was a great joy and encouragement to ourselves and gave us the insatiable desire to see it repeated in every place."
"I therefore sincerely hope that all who read these pages may be stirred to more faithful, loyal, and loving service for God; and that no circumstances, however adverse, will be allowed to daunt or discourage those who have named His name. Do not, I pray you, ever withhold your hand because of conscious personal inability; but believing in the triune sufficiency of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, go forth and forward, conquering and to conquer, in the all-prevailing name of Jesus Christ our Lord."
