Summary: Robert Chapman - Leader by Example
Review: This biography of Robert Chapman (1803 - 1902)reveals the true character of a man who has spent hours each day in humble prayer before God. From his early English day of youth, he read and reread the Bible, yet is would not let him go. Serving in the small town of Barnstaple, England, Chapman deliberately avoided any fame he was receiving for his ministry so that it would not distract from the fame of the Lord. Yet through his humility, he had a major impact on George Muller, J. Hudson Taylor, John Nelson Darby and Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon once said, "Robert Chapman was the saintliest man I ever knew." This a a great book because it will force the reader to evaluate his or her own relationship with the Lord while being challenged to live for Him in deeper devotion. John Nelson Darby said, "We talk of the heavenlies, but Robert Chapman lives in them... He lives what I teach."
