"Burns was used mightily of God in his native Scotland but turned
his back on the acclaim gained from revival to respond to the
passion of his life, sharing the gospel in China. Burns sacrificed
material comforts, suffered illness and harassment, and labored
unto death in order bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the
interior of China. This unique biography by Dr. Michael McMullen,
including Burns' letters, sermons and journal entries, will be an
inspiration and blessing to all who read it and a model for those
in the twenty-first century."

Baptist Convention (President Emeritus of the Southern Baptist
International Mission Board (IMB))*
Burns' life and work deserve to be as well known and studied as
those of McCheyne and Andrew Bonar. This book is highly recommended
as the best means we have to this end.
*The Banner of Truth Magazine*
"Burns was only twenty-four when he preached in Dundee for the
saintly Robert Murray McCheyne and we know him best for that great
flood of revival. However, Dr. Michael McMullen warmly presents the
whole of this godly man's revival preaching and missionary zeal,
with portions of his compelling journal, and letters and sermons
never before published. God's Polished Arrow is about the
sacrifices and massive affect of an eminently holy man."
*Jim Elliff, Midwestern Center for Biblical Revival, Kansas City,
Missouri*
Appearing in three equal-length sections - biography, journal
extracts and letters - this book provides a unique insight into an
extraordinary mans' life. An absorbing and deeply inspiring
study.
*Tom Lennie (Well respected author on Scottish revival)*
"Sometimes while reading stirring biography I wonder why I read
anything else. The life of W.C. Burns falls into this category.
Like David Livingstone, John Paton, and Burn's colleague in
China--Hudson Taylor, he was a flint-faced pioneer. Few men have
seen more of the Lord's evident blessing on their preaching than
Burns. Fewer still have seen such dramatic results both in their
own homeland and among previously unreached peoples. I am delighted
to see Michael McMullen providing the church with a fresh reminder
of what God has done--and can do--through men like W.C. Burns."
