This is the first of two volumes describing the life of the great British preacher and teacher Martin Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981). Under his leadership Westminster Chapel of London was established as the foremost evangelical pulpit in England. Volume one contains Lloyd-Jones' childhood years in Newcastle Emlyn (Wales) and school years, up to the time he began his ministry at Westminster Chapel (1938). This authorized biography is written by co-worker and friend, Iain Murray.

Absolutely excellent! These two volumes are extremely interesting and will hold the reader's attention; while interweaving doctrine and issues, many of which can set many free, because it is loaded with truths and principles that will help a Christian with many practical problems that are bound to be encountered at some time in his life. Had I only had this 5-10 years ago! Yet Thy will be done! I cannot express the blessing these two volumes gave me! They were too short! Don't skip the first volume because the 2nd "appears" more interesting--they are both invaluable.

This is a wonderful work of biography that will buoy the faith of many a sagging saint. The life of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is a powerful testimony to the glory of the sovereign God who enjoy confounding the wisdom of the world and showing it to be a mere chimera.
My own heart was warmed and my faith strengthened in hearing the recounting of God's faithfulness to his called servant.
