Letters of the Late R.C. Chapman - Paperback

by Robert Chapman (Author), Henry Hake (Editor), Lisa Just (Foreword by)

Hold Thou me up, nor let me swerve

From Love's excelling way.

-R.C. Chapman

Affectionately known as the Apostle of Love, preacher and evangelist R.C. Chapman, who lived to the ripe old age of ninety-nine, devoted his long life to living Christ and loving others.

Those familiar with Chapman's life and his expositions of the Scriptures will find in his letters a deeper insight into the heart of the man whose chief interests were always his Lord and his neighbor. Chapman's first-person account of his missionary travels to Ireland and continental Europe reveals a world shrouded in the darkness of Roman Catholicism, a state which Chapman and his companions prayed and worked to change. His letters of counsel to parishioners and friends display "a tender interest in the things of others, a heart in which abode the words of Christ" (Henry Hake, from the introduction). In them, readers can find advice and comfort for a wide variety of life's troubles.
