Sam Jardine was born into a Christian home in the city of Belfast in 1904. He trusted the Lord Jesus as a young man while lying on a hospital bed. He followed his father into the Baptist ministry and after college days in Dublin, saw much spiritual blessing in several pastorates in Northern Ireland. His ministry, later in the assemblies, was Christ-centred, building up and binding together the people of God, and took him to many parts of the British Isles, the Channel Islands, Canada and the USA. In personal life, Sam Jardine exemplified the practical outcome of the truth expressed within these covers, unmistakably declaring the presence of the unquenched Spirit.
