From the Back Cover

"Inevitably there comes a crisis, sooner or later . . . in which we are brought to the appalling sense of our own . . . weakness. That is a great hour."--G. Campbell Morgan G. Campbell Morgan's life was one of passion and devotion to teaching God's Word. He had a vital ministry that touched both sides of the Atlantic, and his meditations on Scripture were both well-known and sought after. In the Shadow of Grace brings together some of G. Campbell Morgan's unpublished writings on dealing with confrontation in life with real events in his own life. Covering subjects from shattered dreams to the deaths of friends and family, rejection to facing the end of life, this tender and hopeful book will encourage you in your own difficulties and strengthen you to face trials with courage and fortitude. "I always considered G. Campbell Morgan one of the greatest Bible expositors of his generation. I shall never forget standing in his pulpit at Westminster not too long after he had been called to heaven. I felt as though I was standing on holy ground!"--Billy Graham, evangelist and chairman of the board, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association "This is a fascinating book about one of the most important preachers of the last century. G. Campbell Morgan had an amazing life and a very effective ministry. In the Shadow of Grace will inform, inspire, and powerfully encourage those who stand in the pulpits of the land on Sunday morning."--John M. Buchanan, editor, Christian Century; senior minister, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, Illinois "G. Campbell Morgan was the greatest Bible teacher of his day. His crisis of choice before accepting the call to Westminster Chapel in 1904 has been an inspiration to me--as were the other crises he faced during his long life."--Philip Evans, former archivist at Westminster Chapel, London

5.0 out of 5 stars Morgan's masterful preaching speaks from the pages, August 14, 2007

By	Jeff D. Sanders "lsandersLifeBio" (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

G. Campbell Morgan's love for the Lord, heart for the people, realistic view of the world, and understanding of God's presence even in times of suffering is made clear in this book. His grandsons have done an amazing job in capturing his story. It's a must read for clergy and laymen alike.
