Originally published in the 1960s as a book intended for young readers, but with an appeal to both young and old. It draws on Biblical and other stories, as well as verse, to make Christian teaching readily understood, even by those of the younger readers who might not otherwise follow easily. It treats the story of Isaac and Rebecca as a framework within which to show that only the Gospel lets us understand our relationship to God, our spiritual needs, and the way to true happiness. With concern for the eternal welfare of his readers, Murdoch Campbell brings to these aims a wonderful...

A memoir, first published in 1974, which also relates 'encounters' of the author and others with God. It has the ambitious and controversial aim of defending Christian mysticism. It affirms that "daily coming to God in prayer is as great an evidence of being the Lord's" as mystical converse with God. Yet for some the question is instead whether mysticism can provide such evidence at all, since the experiences are "so rare and personal it is quite impossible to convey to others what is enjoyed." They conclude that mysticism is at odds with both sound doctrine and good sense. Murdoch Campbell...

Murdoch Campbell's books in English - including Gleanings of Highland Harvest, The Loveliest Story Ever Told, and Memories of a Wayfaring Man - are cherished by many. He reserved his native Gaelic for poetry and song, as well as for pulpit and parish. Any publication of Gaelic religious poetry is now a rare event, and this small collection is welcome not only for its content but also for its craftsmanship and passion. It exhibits a fluent command of the traditional Gaelic bardic style while disclosing, behind this, a perceptive mind, a warm heart and an ardent evangelicalism. These poems...

In his day, no preacher in the Highlands was as attractive or well regarded as the Revd Murdoch Campbell. Some readers may have seen books he wrote such as 'Gleanings of Highland Harvest', 'The Loveliest Story Ever Told', 'Memories of a Wayfaring Man', and 'Wells of Joy'. His Diary is of interest for his life and times, but also as one of the few documented accounts of 20th C Christian mysticism, extending across forty-one years. Its value is not only historical or academic, however. Such a record of fellowship with God is for many readers beyond price. Interest in mysticism is flourishing,...

Murdoch Campbell believed that moral and religious decline have sapped our spiritual strength. We no longer have the resources to avert impending social collapse, or to reduce the resulting risk of inferno, deliberate or accidental. Yet if we pray penitently for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit and preach the Gospel faithfully, we shall escape hurt, and receive intimations of the long summer of coming millennial peace. Self-preservation may deter nuclear conflict but only faith understands the problem, offering redemption and spiritual renewal.

The Book of Psalms holds a special place in the affections of believers.

His lovely songs and prayers describe them with astonishing insight and sympathy. Mr Campbell's books have long been esteemed for their spirituality. Here he shares with the reader the hope, edification, and comfort in affliction which the Psalms have given him over the years. The book is divided into brief entries, one...
