About the author:

Robert Cleaver Chapman (1803-1902), was a pastor, teacher and evangelist. Though born in Denmark, he is best known for his ministry in Barnstaple, England.

He was not as prolific author as some, but what he wrote was largely impactful. He worked closely with George Müller, Charles Spurgeon, and John Darby. Though he and Darby had a disagreement over the denomination, Darby told his supporters to "leave that man alone; We talk of the heavenlies, but Robert Chapman lives in them."

Of Chapman, Spurgeon said the he was "the saintliest man I ever knew."
