"For a succinct, wise, all-round volume on homiletical and pastoral theology, a theological student or minister could not do better than read Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. Even the appendices are packed with wisdom! This reprint is long overdue." - Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary "My personal favorite book for pastors is William Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. How I rejoice that this outstanding manual of homiletics and pastoral theology is finally being reprinted! Blaikie offers a brilliant overview of everything from the nature of and call to the ministry to Supplementary Hints on subjects like visitation of the sick, home mission work, and evangelistic movements. His advice on everything from pastoral care of the young to fulfilling pastoral engagements and meetings is full of mature wisdom which is as applicable today as it was over a century ago." - William Shishko, Pastor, Franklin Square, NY

This book is a facsimile reprint of William Garden Blaikie's Memoir of David Brown (1898). David Brown was a minister in the Free Church of Scotland.

This book was written in 1876 by William Garden Blaikie, D.D., LL.D. who was a Free Church of Scotland minister. In this book he opens up the Scriptures to display the inner person of Christ. When Christ, the eternal son of God, coequal with the father, became man, he became the perfect embodiment of manhood. If we want to experience the Christian life at its deepest level then we need to study and meditate on the inner life of the person of Christ.It was Professor John Murray in his work, "Redemption Accomplished and Applied" that said "the Scripture regards the work of Christ as one of obedience". It was our Lord's devotion, delight, and harmony with the Father's will that was the motivating and governing principle of everything he did. If we desire to walk as he walked then the same must be true of us. If I could have but one book besides the Bible in my library, this would be it.
