One of my favorite preachers was a man named Martyn Lloyd-Jones, the long-time pastor of Westminster Chapel in London. Last week (1 March) marked the 29th anniversary of his death. Below is a nice 10-minute introduction to his life:
Iain Murray, his official biographer and former assistant, has written wonderful biographies:
- D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: The First Forty Years 1899-1939
- D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Fight of Faith 1939-1981
- Lloyd-Jones: Messenger of Grace
If you wish to read a collection of his personal correspondence here’s a nice link: D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Letters 1919-1981.
If you’d like to hear him preach you may do so online (for free) at Martyn Lloyd-Jones Recording Trust.
Crossway Books continues to publish new volumes by Dr. Lloyd-Jones. These volumes were edited from transcribed sermons by his daughter, Lady Elizabeth Catherwood. You can find these works here.
Lastly, a few years ago Mark Dever interviewed Lady Elizabeth and her husband, Sir Fred Catherwood, about her father: D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Reflections on His Ministry with His Family.

I actually listened to his series on Revival years ago, incredible! Went through a season where I devoured everything by him and about him.
I loved his book Revival. Read it with a group of pastors group. It has a forward by J. I. Packer.
It’s so crazy. The expectations of preachers today haven’t changed much from what they were describing in the 10 min. video for MLJ.
Where’s the fog machine? Where’s the powerful entrance? Where’s the light show? Entertain me!
And then you realize that God’s Word is sufficient without the bells and whistles we love to, all to often, throw on it.
Great video. Thanks for that.
