Horatius bonar - (1808-1889) scottish churchman and poet. Horatius bonar had a passionate heart for revival and was a friend and supporter of several revivalists he was brother to the more well-known andrew bonar and with him defended d. L. Moody''s evangelistic ministry in scotland. He authored a couple of excellent revival works one including over a hundred biographical sketches and the other an addendum to rev. John gillies'' historical collections bringing it up to date. He was a powerful soul-winner and is well qualified to pen this brief but illuminating study of the character of true revivalists. Horatius was in fact one of eleven children and of these an older brother john james and a younger andrew also became ministers and were all closely involved together with thomas chalmers william c. Burns and robert murray m''cheyne in the important spiritual movements which affected many places in scotland in the 1830s and 1840s.
