He is also a man who has pastored his church for many decades. Frankly, he is also the kind of man you want on your side in a fight: apparently fearless and utterly reliable.

A prolific author who received national or even international attention in the controversy that a book of his commenced on the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Who was he? What was his background? How did he build up this mega-church in Los Angeles? Could a commitment to the doctrines of grace be so blessed not just with the growth of a congregation but a growing seminary and college, and the professions of faith of multitudes of people? How is it that this church sells more free grace books than almost any other in the world? Iain Murray answers many of these questions in this sparkling volume.

Iain Murray always does great biographical studies. This one is unusual in that it focuses on a pastor and writer who is still living. Much of the resurgence of Reformed theology in our day is due to men like MacArthur who are preaching the doctrines of grace from the pulpit and who are doing expository preaching from the Bible.

Excellent presentation on Pneumatology led me to his international ministry Grace to Youexposed to expository preaching first hand, and my friends know that I love JMac so much that they bought me this book.
