Converted at the age of 22 after a terrible tragedy struck his family, coal-miner James M’Kendrick entered into a life of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Called ungifted in preaching, both by himself and his companions, M’Kendrick nevertheless saw thousands of sinners convicted and converted by the Holy Spirit during half a century of travel as a gospel preacher over the greater portion of the British Isles and parts of Australia, America, and Canada.

What was his secret? It was not in gifts of gospel preaching but in possessing the spirit of the gospel. Find in this book the gospel preacher Watchman Nee particularly loved to read about, a man with “love in his heart and tears in his eyes.” Let the gospel fire that burned within James M’Kendrick touch you, let the spirit of the gospel that was in him be revived in you, and let this fire of the gospel glow to ignite your own corner of the world today.
