What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"I always considered G. Campbell Morgan one of the greatest Bible expositors of his generation. I shall never forget standing in his pulpit at Westminster not too long after he had been called to heaven. I felt as though I was standing on holy ground!"
— Billy Graham, evangelist and chairman of the board,
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

"This is a fascinating book about one of the most important preachers of the last century. G. Campbell Morgan had an amazing life and a very effective ministry. In the Shadow of Grace will inform, inspire, and powerfully encourage those who stand in the pulpits of the land on Sunday morning."
— John M. Buchanan, editor, Christian Century;
senior minister, Forth Presbyterian Church, Chicago,
