God's Polished Arrow
WC Burns; Revival Preacher
Michael D. McMullen
William Chalmers Burns was surrounded by revival. Not only was he used by God in Scotland, Continental Europe and North America, but he was also a pioneer missionary in China (Where he persuaded a young man called Hudson Taylor to dress in Chinese clothes). In his journals are recorded a first hand account of revival and the life of a spiritual man with an adventurous spirit - a man whose favourite books as a boy were ?The Pilgrim's Progress' and ?The Life of Sir William Wallace' (Braveheart).
Michael D. McMullen
Dr. Michael D. McMullen is Professor of Church History at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City.

Christian Focus
Burns' life and work deserve to be as well known and studied as those of McCheyne and Andrew Bonar. This book is highly recommended as the best means we have to this end.
Banner of Truth
This movingly-written and beautifully-bound biography, journal extracts, letters and sermon notes of one confessedly 'saved by sovereign and infinitely gracious God' indicates time and again what God is pleased to do through a man wholly devoted to His service.
Peace and Truth
Appearing in three equal-length sections - biography, journal extracts and letters - this book provides a unique insight into an extraordinary mans' life. An absorbing and deeply inspiring study.
Tom Lennie
Well respected author on Scottish revival
"Burns was only twenty-four when he preached in Dundee for the saintly Robert Murray McCheyne and we know him best for that great flood of revival. However, Dr. Michael McMullen warmly presents the whole of this godly man's revival preaching and missionary zeal, with portions of his compelling journal, and letters and sermons never before published. God's Polished Arrow is about the sacrifices and massive affect of an eminently holy man."
