The Pastor of Kilsyth introduces us to the life and ministry of William Hamilton Burns (1779"e" 1859), the father of the better known preacher and missionary to China William Chalmers Burns (1815"e"68). But while eclipsed in fame by his son, the life and ministry of William H. Burns contains much that is of value to us today. This is reflected by Iain Murray who referred to The Pastor of Kilsyth as a 'little known work,' but notwithstanding this said it is 'one of the best Scottish ministerial biographies.'

At some points, the biography drags a bit, but it seems almost needful that it does since it is the perfect description of the regular ministry life of a regular preacher in a regular village. This little book is a testimony to the power of faithfulness and the blessing of God on those who are faithful in that which is least.
May God raise up more William Burns to preach faithfully in their little corners of the world. ( )
