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
After repenting from a life of sin in 1860, at the age of 26, Robert Annan worked tirelessly to persuade others to follow Christ. Compelled by the reality of eternity, and as if he somehow knew how short his time on earth would be, Annan devoted every possible moment of his time working among "the least of these," preaching to the poor, the destitute, the drunkards, and the prostitutes in the slums of Dundee, Scotland.

The Christian Hero: A Sketch of the Life of Robert Annan, is truely just that, a sketch of Annan's life. The reader may feel as if he has stumbled upon an antique scrapbook full of first hand praise for Annan, hymns that Annan sang, texts of Annan's sermons, letters he wrote to persuade others to turn from sin and follow Christ, and finally, the eulogy delivered at his funeral. All of these valuable primary sources give the book a rare authenticity and reliability. Robert Annan followed the Great Commission in a way that will inspire the reader to re-examine his own obedience to Jesus' final instructions to make disciples.
