Catherine Marshall writes the biography of her husband, Peter Marshall, a Scottish immigrant who became pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., and later Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. The book follows his boyhood in Coatbridge, his move to the United States, his training and preaching, their marriage, and his early death in 1949. Excerpts from his sermons and prayers appear throughout.
Christian readers interested in mid-twentieth-century American church life and in a marriage built on faith will find it moving. It also works as a portrait of a gifted preacher through the eyes of his wife.
Clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
