The Life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, 1899-1981

This book is a re-cast, condensed and, in parts, re-written version of the
author's two volumes D. Martyn Lloyd- Jones: The First Forty Years (I982) and
The Fight of Faith (I990). Since those dates, the life of Dr Lloyd-Jones has
been the subject of comment and assessment in many publications and these have
been taken into account. The main purpose of this further biography, however,
is to put Dr Lloyd-Jones' life before another generation in more accessible
form. The big story is all here.
When Lloyd-Jones left medicine, he intended only to be an evangelist in a
mission hall in South Wales. No one was more surprised than he in being called
to a ministry which would eventually affect churches across the world. How this
happened is here explained, but the theme is the person described by F. F.
Bruce: 'a thoroughly humble man. He was a man of prayer, a powerful evangelist,
an expository preacher of rare quality, in the fullest sense a servant of the
Word of God.'
Behind that theme a greater one emerges. In ML- J's own words: My whole life " experiences are proof of the sovereignty of God and his direct interference in
the lives of men. I cannot help believing what I believe. I would be a madman
to believe anything else-the guiding hand of God! It is an astonishment to me. "
