Travel with Robert Murray M'Cheyne: In the footsteps of a godly Scottish pastor (Day One Travel Guides) by Derek Prime

This is one of the most unusual travel guides I've ever read (and I've read quite a few!). Prime takes us through the history of a 'godly Scottish pastor' by showcasing the places where he lived and preached. It is complete with maps and interesting tidbits about the many places and people of Scotland that were associated with Robert Murray McCheyne. It is a good quality paperback with lost of glossy photos and interesting drawings. It's a creative idea that is sure to take off!

Created to Praise by Derek Prime

This book gives us the Bible's picture of Christian happiness in praising God in prayer, in song, in trials and difficulties & finally praising Him for Eternity in Heaven.
