""The Apostle of the North: The Life and Labors of John McDonald"" is a biographical book written by John Kennedy in 1867. The book tells the story of John McDonald, a Scottish Presbyterian minister who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in the remote regions of the North of Scotland during the 19th century. The book describes McDonald's early life, his education, and his decision to become a minister. It also details his journey to the North of Scotland, where he faced many challenges in trying to establish a church and convert the local population. Despite the harsh conditions, McDonald persevered and eventually succeeded in building a strong Christian community in the region. The book also explores McDonald's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his interactions with other notable figures of the time, such as Queen Victoria and the Duke of Argyll. Overall, ""The Apostle of the North"" is a fascinating account of a remarkable man who devoted his life to spreading the gospel in some of the most challenging and isolated regions of Scotland. It provides a vivid picture of life in the North of Scotland during the 19th century, as well as insights into the challenges and rewards of missionary work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
