The Life of Robert Murray M'Cheyne
He was born in Edinburgh, on May 21, 1813, and died of Typhus two months short of his thirtieth birthday, on March 25, 1843. His only pastorate was at St. Peter's church in Dundee, and though his ministry spanned but seven and a half years, and though he wrote no books and rarely preached outside of Scotland, the impact of his life upon his own land, and the world, can only be explained in terms of the activity of God in a life fully yielded to Him. When he died it is said that all of Scotland mourned. The focus and desire of his life was to be a holy man of God. Andrew Bonar, his closest friend, wrote that Robert's constant prayer was, "Oh God, make me as holy as it is possible for a sinner saved by grace to be." His diaries reveal the depth of his love for the Lord.
