Grimké on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Francis Grimké played a significant role not just in southern Presbyterianism but also in African American and United States history. His advocacy for the rights of African Americans, as well as his passion for justice, dovetails with his commitment to biblical fidelity, theological rigor, and pastoral care. This kind of pastoral work is sorely missing from evangelicalism today, and Drew Martin has done an excellent job highlighting why we need to examine the lives and pastorates of men like Grimké more closely. An excellent book for anyone doing ministry in twenty-first-century America.”
