Does anyone have any biographical information of James McBroom in addition to that on STEM (http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/Biographies/mcbroom.html) ? I would also be interested in seeing any additional writings of his.

Thanks, Timothy. I am always amazed at the breadth of the ministry of our brother from the coal pits. But then, he served the One of whom it was said, "From whence hath this man these things?"

"Obedience leads to delight, and as taught by the Spirit there is enrichment. This has often transported simple, unlettered men beyond the greatest thinkers of the day who have refused the teaching of the Spirit. Moreover, growth in the knowledge of scripture leads to advance in the knowledge of God and this is growth which widens the outlook on life. Since the books of nature and revelation are from the same blessed Source, the individual, however simple and unlearned, acquires a working knowledge of things, and an outlook on life, which leaves far behind leaders of thought who limit themselves to the passing things of the day." (J. McBroom)
