Book Description<\/h2>\n

Christian Experience<\/em> is a selection of material drawn from the later years of Donald MacDonald’s ministry. These fourteen chapters contain vital spiritual truth illuminated by the personal anecdotes of a man who saw the whole of life in focus because his eyes were fixed on Christ.<\/p>\n

Donald MacDonald was one of the best known and loved ministers in the Free Church of Scotland during the mid-twentieth century. Converted in Ness, on the Island of Lewis, during a period of revival in the 1920s, he ministered with great fruitfulness in two congregations, first at Urray, Easter Ross and latterly at Greyfriars Free Church, Inverness.<\/p>\n

In his earliest days as a Christian and throughout the whole of his ministry he developed a deep understanding of spiritual experience, and excelled in preaching on many aspects of it. His teaching married seriousness with a tenderness of spirit born out of his own spiritual pilgrimage; it combined an emphasis on God’s holiness with a sense of the wonder of communion with him.<\/p>\n
