The True Estimate Of How To Live

by G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan (1863-1945) was born on a farm in Tetbury, England, the son of a Baptist minister. When Campbell was 10 years old, D. L. Moody came to England for the first time, and the effect of his ministry, combined with the dedication of his parents, made such an impression on young Morgan, that at the age of 13, he preached his first sermon. Two years later, he was preaching regularly in country chapels during his Sundays and holidays.

About the author

Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943, pausing briefly between to work at Biola in Los Angeles, which he eventually handed over to Martyn Lloyd Jones.

Morgan was a prolific author, writing over 60 works in his lifetime, not counting the publishing of some of his sermons as booklets and pamphlets. In addition to composing extensive biblical commentaries, and writing on myriad topics related to the Christian life and ministry, his essay entitled "The Purposes of the Incarnation" is included in a famous and historic collection called The Fundamentals—a set of 90 essays edited by the famous R. A. Torrey, who himself was successor to D. L. Moody both as an evangelist and pastor—which is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Christian Fundamentalist movement.

A Classic That "Though Dead, Still Speaks"

I have read one other book by G. Campbell Morgan, however this one spoke to me soundly in my heart. The last chapter compares Lot and Abram. It is timely in my walk with Christ as a pastor - the push for achievement in Church Growth was leading me away from an intimate relationship with Christ. Lot chose for himself, Abram let God choose. One lost it all, the other gained it all. Choose wisely.

Not as Good as I Thought

While there are some good points in this book, I thought there was a lot of meandering. He would go on tangents before returning to his point. I'm a little disappointed by this book.
