Paul: A Servant of Jesus Christ

Of the many Sacred Biographies I have written this has been by far the most interesting. For days and weeks together I have lived in the company of this glorious man; but only to feel that he transcended all ones loftiest conceptions. Like some great mountain range the more his character is traversed the more it grows on the imagination. -- From the Preface F. B. Meyer was born into a wealthy Christian home in London on April 8 1847. As a youth he often conducted Sunday evening services in the dining room before the children were old enough to attend evening public worship. In this way he developed preaching ability very early in life. Ordained into the Baptist ministry he pastored many influential British churches. He introduced D. L. Moody to Great Britain; they were fast friends. After fifteen years in the pastorate he began a worldwide ministry of preaching. At the age of eighty he made his twelfth preaching tour of America preaching almost every night on a 15000 mile tour. He went home to be with the Lord on March 28 1929. He authored forty books besides numerous tracts and articles. Some of the best known are The Obedience of Faith Tried By Fire The Way Into the Holiness and Christ In Isaiah.
