After reading Murray's first volume on the life of Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, I was practically foaming at the mouth to read the second volume.
It did not disappoint.
This look at the second half of Lloyd-Jones' ministry covers his ministry at Westminster Chapel, his relationship with InterVarsity, his eventual rift with this ministry, spiritual depression, illnesses, and, above it all, his supernatural faith in a supernatural God.

Throughout his long pulpit ministry, which this volume documents beginning with his move to Westminster Chapel in London, Martyn Lloyd-Jones moved against the currents of his times. What makes his story not just one of historical interest but of acute application to our day is the fact that the currents of his time (essentially the middle of the twentieth century) are those also of our time. Christianity in Great Britain, whether liberal or evangelical, had become essentially man-centered. The...more
Murray’s biography of MLJ’s life is must reading for any pastor. Here is a clarion call to keep proclamation of the gospel the primary responsibility of the pastor with a stubborn commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture. I have learned much of the privilege and necessity of bold preaching from my reading of both volumes of the biography.
This volume takes us through the second half of Lloyd-Jones' life. It covers the years at Westminster Chapel, the second World War, the years in which most of his books were preached, his extensive ministry, and then active retirement. What a wonderful example Lloyd-Jones gives on how to live the Christian life.
Both Volumes I & II are a tremendous account and tribute to this man gifted by God for preaching. Wonderfully encouraging to read about his involvement in the Christian church throughout the 20th century, his leadership with young people, and his church during World War II. Both volumes are lengthy but great reading and very inspiring to a person of faith.
I am going through this volume for a second time. Murray, as usual, does a great job with his material. I am looking forward to the journey again.
I would have given it four stars but it is just too long to be real enjoyable. He should have published a more edited version of about 300 pages. This 2nd volume was almost 800 pages!
