Read Biographies - A.W. Pink 1886-1952

Reading biographies of saints who have gone before us is a way to see God's hand at work in an ordinary life that brings about great things for His glory. They can shape us and inspire us to seek God more, delight in Him more, treasure Him more. The Life of Aurther W. Pink by Murry is one of those biographies that inspires perseverance. I plan to share other life changing biographies in the days ahead.

Pink's biography, first written by Iain Murray in 1981, is here revised with the benefit of new material, including some of Pink's own re-discovered manuscripts. It is the heart-stirring and compelling story of a strong, complex character Arthur Pink's writings became a major element in the recovery of expository preaching and biblical living. Born in England in 1886, A. W. Pink was the little-known pastor of churches in the United States and Australia before he finally returned to his homeland in 1934. There he died almost unnoticed in 1952. By that date, however, his magazine was feeding several of the men who were leading a return to doctrinal Christianity, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Douglas Johnson (founder of Inter-Varsity) and, in book form after his death, his writing became very widely read across the world.
