Description
During the 1980's some eminent and valued servants of the Lord in the British Isles were called home.
James Anderson has compiled a short and interesting biography of 44 of these brethren. Many were household names in the assemblies of the Lord's people, and their memory is revered. Others were not so well known, yet faithfully seved their Master during their lifetime. This book is a valuable memoir of men whose faith was worth following and whose example should be a challenge to us in the Nineties.

Robert Plant was born in Essex but raised in Yorkshire with no Christian background. Watching the TV series in 1978, ‘The Voyage of Charles Darwin’, he became infuriated with those who refused to see Darwin’s ‘obvious’ scientific discovery that all life on earth evolved over millions of years.
Having met a Christian while at secondary school, he often debated with him on creation or evolution. During this time he looked unsuccessfully for evidence to support his belief in Darwin’s evolution. Having later trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour, he became convinced of the accuracy of the Bible, a young earth and a literal six-day creation period.
Robert left his employment as a safety manager in 1993 to become a full-time Christian evangelist. His preaching has taken him to different parts of the world where he has had the privilege of watching and photographing wildlife. Several of his own photographs appear throughout this publication. Robert is keen to show how the natural world around us displays the evidence of a Creator God rather than the unguided mutations of evolution.
Robert and his wife Karen live in Northern Ireland, have one married daughter, and two grandchildren.
They Finished Their Course is a treasured five-volume biographical series recording the lives and testimonies of faithful Christian men who devoted themselves to the service of Christ, the preaching of the Gospel, missionary work, Bible teaching, and the strengthening of local assemblies.
First published in 1980, the series began as a record of respected brethren who were called home during the 1970s. Since then, a new volume has appeared every decade, preserving the stories of those whose faith, character, and service left a lasting impact on believers around the world.
The collection serves as both a historical record and a source of spiritual encouragement, reminding readers of the biblical exhortation to remember those who have faithfully spoken the Word of God and to follow their example of faith. Rich with personal recollections, ministry experiences, missionary accounts, and lessons learned through lives well lived, these books challenge a new generation to continue faithfully in the path of Christian discipleship.
Whether you are interested in assembly history, missionary biography, Christian leadership, or simply enjoy reading the stories of believers whose lives made a difference for eternity, They Finished Their Course is a remarkable collection that will inform, inspire, and encourage.
