Overview

An adventurous, captivating and poetic memoir of the author s courageous and spiritual journey from Scotland to Canada to Australia in his quest to find the Truth and know the living God. Neither an apologetic nor a polemic, he corrects much misinterpretation and misunderstanding of Freemasonry. We learn how inspiration from Masonic teachings about Solomon s Temple, the arch, and keystone led him to a deep study of the revelation from the Bible of the stone the builders rejected which is Christ. Readers will be uplifted, inspired, and delighted as they follow along with him in the discovery of his calling to become a minister.

McKinlay s narrative is one part personal testimony and another part Scottish anecdote. We learn so much about his personal likes and desires including his love of nature, his poetic gifting as well as his desire to follow Christ, and eventually his ordination as a minister in the Presbyterian Church of Australia. What is most important about McKinlay s chronology is that he shows that God is so very much interested in the person and that our life story is the means by which God draws us to Him no matter where we re at. The seeking heart will always find God and there isn t a place we can go or be where He won t come searching for us. Matthew C. Keegan It truly amazes me to learn how God leads His elect in various ways back to the great Jehovah Elohim without Whom no one can come to God. I heartily recommend this readable book. Rev. Professor Emeritus Dr. Francis Nigel Lee
