Brought up in Dundee, one of eleven children, Mary was called to mission.  Setting sail for West Africa on the 5th August 1876, Mary arrived one month later. Bruce McLennan examines this remarkable story of a woman who shared the Gospel, stood up against inequality and impacted all areas of life in Calabar with boldness and conviction.  McLennan also considers the debt owed to the work of previous missionaries who had established the work and looks at the legacy of Slessor after her death.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582850146577,"sku":"GOR006344626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634133049617,"sku":"GOR007497059","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49959768326417,"sku":"CIN1781915180VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53397479096593,"sku":"CIN1781915180G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1781915180.jpg?v=1751312279"},{"product_id":"mccheyne-s-dundee-book-bruce-mclennan-9781601785909","title":"McCheyne's Dundee","description":"In the mid-nineteenth century, Dundee was gradually establishing itself as Scotland's third-largest city, with a rapidly expanding economy. What most attracted observers' attention, however, was the religious revival that began in the Fall of 1839 under the leadership of two relatively young and inexperienced ministers, Robert Murray McCheyne (1813\"€\"1843) and William Chalmers Burns (1815\"€\"1868). In McCheyne's Dundee, historian Bruce McLennan ably traces the story of revival in this industrial Scottish seaport. After looking at the social and economic conditions of the city, as well as the significant religious issues of the day, he then considers McCheyne and Burns\"€\"their backgrounds, their brief ministries in Dundee, and their impact as God's instruments of great spiritual blessing to the people of that city. McLennan concludes with an analysis of the reactions to the revival\"€\"both approbation and opposition\"€\" and the awakening's long-term effects, which could still be seen a generation la","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393518244113,"sku":"CIN1601785909G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1601785909.jpg?v=1750927539"},{"product_id":"samuel-rutherford-of-anwoth-book-bruce-mclennan-9781601789532","title":"Samuel Rutherford of Anwoth","description":"\u003cp\u003eSamuel Rutherford (ca.1600-1661) was an accomplished man--university scholar, defender of the Reformed faith, prolific author, astute political theorist, formidable defender of Presbyterian church government, Scottish commissioner at the Westminster Assembly from 1643 to 1647. However, Bruce McLennan introduces us to the life and times of Rutherford with a particular view to his pastoral labors. While Rutherford was highly regarded by contemporaries for his contribution to various aspects of Scottish church life, Rutherford made it abundantly clear that his first love, and that to which he believed he was clearly called, was preaching the gospel and shepherding the Lord's people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.

Within these years, beginning with the going out of F. S. Arnot in 1881, a total of 283 men and women served there, coming initially from Britain, but increasingly over the years from Europe, North America, and Australia and New Zealand. Some served for a short period of time, but all were utterly convinced they should be there. These were years of great change and uncertainty, as the 'Scramble for Africa' took place, and tribal chiefs, some opposed to the Gospel, still held sway in the early years. The background against which missionaries laboured is considered: deep-seated native beliefs and customs; the evil influence of the white traders; the 'open sore of Africa', i.e. slavery; the dangers of wild life.After surveying the development of missionary stations, several 'issues' are considered: when a local church can be considered indigenous and autonomous; the valuable contribution of native African Christians as an essential part of the picture; how valuable and necessary medical and school work is; what is the value of women on the mission field? Later chapters consider visitors' impressions of the work and years of blessing and growth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53564741615889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53564741714193,"sku":"GOR014963483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781912522651.jpg?v=1778953864"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-bruce-mclennan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
