Description

If you've never heard of Robert Annan of Dundee, otherwise known as "the Christian Hero," prepare to be astounded at the amazing grace of God in his life as you turn the pages of this incredible little biography. Its thrilling story will stir you to the depths and almost certainly drive you to your knees with an increased desire to be used for God’s glory. The record of his beginning years reads much like that of John Newton - a life of wandering far from God in the ways of sin and rebellion. At least once he miraculously escaped death through the overruling providence of God. As time passed, he became thoroughly discontented with his sinful life; but he didn't want anything to do with God or Christianity. He thought he could overcome sin and live a morally good life by his own efforts. He soon discovered, however, that he was no match for sin or Satan; and casting himself entirely on God's grace and mercy in Jesus Christ, he was gloriously saved. From the very first day of his conversion, he became a tireless seeker of lost souls. He worked during the day time as a stone mason, but his evenings and weekends were spent preaching in the streets or in homes. Frequently he would spend whole nights in secret prayer, pleading at the throne of grace for lost sinners. As he went to his employment in the early mornings, he would often write Scripture verses on the pavement for others to read as they passed by on their way to work or school. Thus he was instant in season and out of season, using every opportunity to present to men the claims of Jesus Christ and the reality of heaven, hell, and the judgment that awaits every human soul. Read his story and be amazed, remembering that what God did for Robert Annan he can and will do for anyone.

Comment
This book was small and I assumed a quick read. I found, however, that it had a lot of "meat" in it. I could read a few pages then "chew" on it. I had never heard of Robert Annan although I had heard of some of his contemporaries, such as Billy Bray. His radical change after he came to Christ really struck me. Such conversion is rare to see. The life Robert Annan lived as a Christian is, sad to say, very rare today. I was convicted a number of times as I read this book as I thought about my life compared to his. He worked hard all day, then spent hours after work trying to reach the lost and win them to Christ. What devotion he had! What love for lost souls! This is truly a message needed today for our watered down Christianity.

Another point of conviction was the hours that Robert spent in prayer. He not only poured himself into ministering to others and helping meet their physical needs, but he also poured himself out in prayer before the Father's throne. We know so little of that type of prayer life today. He spent hours in prayer and often ignored sleep to pray for others. Oh that God would awaken us to become prayer warriors like Robert!

He truly lived in the light of eternity and for the souls of men and women alike. This reprint of a long forgotten biography of Robert Annan is a message needed for our day. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to follow God more closely and be a bright flame for our dark generation. May this book stir the hearts of many to follow in Robert's footsteps to walk closely with God and win many to righteousness!
