John MacArthur Servant of the Word and Flock
by Ian Murray
This book was written by Ian Murray in 2011. Murray did a wonderful job at capturing the early years of John MacArthur’s life and ministry. Murray begins by chronicling Pastor John’s early life and family in California. The influence of his father is brought out, as well as the wonderful caring heart of his mother. The priority of the Bible in his life is highlighted and the many trials and struggles Pastor John went through in the early years as the Pastor of Grace Community Church are shown to be a major component to who he was as a man and Pastor. The growth of his ministry through the years is shown to be rooted on his belief in preaching the Word of God verse by verse and chapter by chapter. He held the local church as an essential part of the Christian life. This book gives a glimpse into the part of his life that not everyone sees. The close personal care coupled with his love for the Lord is seen on almost every page.
