What a blessing this book is! Iain Murray has given us a stirring and balanced account of what little is known about this man of God. It is fitting that Pink wrote one of the most profitable books in print on Elijah because the two men shared faithfully the Word of God in a day when not many treasured it. I must admit this was my second reading. The first was stopped short some fifteen years ago for reasons long forgotten. Pink circled the globe preaching the gospel when ships were powered by wind or steam! He preached to crowds of hundreds, sometimes thousands, before turning completely to the ministry of the pen. You'll be enriched by this little book but read it when your encouragements are high because Pink's story is not one of glamour, not glory but of faithful perseverance in the ministry of the Word. Don't let that discourage you from taking up this read though - it's worth it! October 2014
I will have to check this out. I enjoyed Iain Murray's book on MacArthur.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I appreciate Iain Murray very much too. He is always worth the time. If you read this book, I would really like to get your take away. Pink reminds me a little of John the Baptist, "a voice crying in the wilderness."
