Rev. Colin McFarland: "In Christ" An Adventure in Grace

Author: Sharon Acheson
Publisher: JC Print Limited
Colin McFarland has been known to me for many years as a ministerial colleague and as a dear brother in the Lord. His friendship and fellowship have been extremely precious. He is a man of genuine faith, godliness, humility, graciousness and wisdom. He is a true example to all, especially to those who serve the Lord. ~ Rev Tom Shaw Colin McFarland’s story, ‘In Christ: An Adventure with God,’ is far from being the usual record of personal achievement. Instead, between its covers we read of what God has done in and through the life of one ordinary man. With honesty, Colin opens up his life to the reader – the failures alongside the successes, the sorrows mixed with the joys – with a definite purpose in mind. He wants us to recognise that you don’t have to be great to see God doing great things. God entrusted Colin with the task of both planting and harvesting the gospel in many lives. The where and when was all about following Christ in obedience and leaving the results with Him. This warm and personal book allows us to accompany Colin on his long “Adventure with God”, and to recognise, with gratitude, that it has all been because he is “In Christ”. ~ Catherine Campbell, author of ‘Under the Rainbow’ and ‘Consider Him’ Following the footsteps of Colin’s life and ministry takes the reader through the highs and lows this humble servant of God encountered. A heart-warming story, so well told by Sharon Acheson. ~ Pastor Victor Maxwell Sharon Acheson – Born in Belfast, Sharon came to faith in Christ at the age of four.
